Chronos (IMAX)

Arts Documentary hosted by No narration, published by IMAX in 1985 - English narration

Information

Chronos, a 42 minute film of experimental time lapses, shot on 70mm IMAX film. While not narrated, the soundtrack consists of a single continuous piece by composer Michael Stearns. Filmed in dozens of locations on five continents, it relates to the concept of time passing on different scales, the bulk of which covers the history of civilization. From pre-history, Egypt, Rome, Late Antiquity, to the rise of Western Europe, the Renaissance, and on into the modern era. It centers on European themes but not exclusively. Other time scales include the passing of seasons, and the passing of night and day, and the passing shadows of the sun in an afternoon to the passing of people on the street. These themes are intermingled with symbolic meaning.
