Overview

Shapes blister and tumble across frame lines, colors splash, bleed, and vanish, machinic noise rumbles and churns. Produced using an entirely photochemical process on 35mm film, with an optical soundtrack generated photochemically, Day One is an odyssey of light and color, an exploration of the primary materials of analog filmmaking, and a miniature cosmos activated inside the cinematic apparatus.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sensory immersion in pure filmmaking material: shapes and colors dance across the screen with mechanical precision and organic chaos, while photochemical sound pulses through the frame. It's a meditation on cinema itself, where the medium becomes the message and the journey.
