Satellite

1968 · 82 min

A loose, abstract collage of images and talk that drifts rather than tells, asking you to sit with fragments and make your own connections.

Overview
A young filmmaker advocates the creation of a new type of film, devoid of a traditional plot and composed of blocks of sequences that have no specific interdependence. Subsequently, the theoretical statement leads to practical demonstration: abstract images flow across the screen, accompanied, for the most part, by snippets of conversation on a wide variety of topics.
