World

Director: Jordan Belson | USA 1970 | 6 min | 16mm | Without dialogue

A hypnotic stream of light, color and cosmic energy: In World, Jordan Belson unfolds a meditative journey through abstract shapes and pulsating patterns reminiscent of star explosions and spiritual visions. Belson, influenced by mysticism and Eastern philosophy, used innovative animation techniques and optical effects to create an almost transcendental world of images. "I try to focus on something, to bring it back to life from the unexplored areas of the inner image, the inner space. Intuition is the basis of my aesthetic judgment. The more you allow intuition to speak to you, the closer you get to the truth and the origins of the universe." (Jordan Belson)
