An experimental science fiction film that adapts Olaf Stapledon’s 1930 book (which itself reads as a precursor to his 1937 book, Star Maker). The film is mesmerizing, soundtrack is amazing. Film was included with the soundtrack, can’t remember for which I was more excited.

Super 8mm camera test, shot around Bloedel Conservatory in April 2016. Camera is a Bell & Howell, not sure about the model, but it has a faux-wood panelling on the body, and it’s fully automatic. Shot this test on 50D in the late afternoon on a sunny day, so not sure if that’s why the film looks overexposed or if the auto-exposure function doesn’t work anymore.
