Baraka a film by Ron Fricke

Movies, TV — Josiah on January 31, 2007 at 9:23 pm

INHD has been playing a 1992 film called Baraka lately. It’s a stunning piece of cinematography with high definition images and meditative music. The film has no narration or titles, only video and music and the ambient sounds of the material being filmed. From people to animals to cities to jungles, this film takes you on a 96 minutes journey through our amazing world.

I looked up Baraka online just now and got some more information from Wiki…

Baraka (1992) is an experimental documentary film directed by Ron Fricke, cinematographer for Koyaanisqatsi, the first of the Qatsi films by Godfrey Reggio. Often compared to Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka’s subject matter is in fact similar—including footage of various landscapes, churches, ruins, religious ceremonies, and cities thrumming with life, filmed using time-lapse photography in order to capture the great pulse of humanity as it flocks and swarms in daily activity

Scouring YouTube, I found some slips of Baraka (but beware, the full Baraka experience can only be appreciated in high definition and with great sound, so do yourself a favor and find it for your home theatre)
