La Région Centrale (1971)
Michael Snow · 180m · 16mm

A camera fixed to a gyroscopic machine arm is left alone for three hours on a Canadian mountaintop, turning to programmed musical commands. As the camera contorts with and through space, what’s in front of and around it begins to appear. La Région Centrale was rarely screened until new prints were struck in the early 2000s. Chantal Akerman famously spent an entire day watching it on a loop.
