This 1971 masterpiece of experimental cinema, presents the landscape in a way never seen before by the human eye. It was filmed on a deserted mountaintop in Quebec, with a specially designed mechanised camera able to move without human intervention in every direction imaginable. The camera lens could pass within inches of the ground and zoom into the infinity of the sky, initially panning through 360 degrees, then sideways, upside down and in circular motions, accompanied by a continuous mechanical soundtrack constructed from the camera control sounds.
