Heartbeat

About This Movie

Heartbeat is a unique 1973 film that blends documentary and animation. Created by Bill and Louise Etra, this work showcases innovative techniques using biotelemetry and video synthesizers.

Heartbeat has had limited releases over the years, making original prints quite scarce. Early screenings were often at art and experimental film festivals, which adds to its underground appeal among collectors. While it's not widely known, there’s a niche interest in its experimental nature and historical significance. If you come across a copy, it might spark some interesting conversations with fellow collectors about the evolution of animation and multimedia art.
