MUSIC IN CONTRARY MOTION, 10min., Canada, Musical
Directed by Tom Belding
Set to the classic minimalist music of Philip Glass, arranged for marimbas and synthesizer by the Canadian percussion duo Taktus, this film juxtaposes the natural world and those things that humans have created within it. As the viewer is mesmerized by the rhythmic flow of this vivid imagery, they are propelled to confront the opposing forces of contemporary society and consider their own role in the perpetual motion.
