The Matter

About This Movie

The Matter is quite a unique piece from 1974—it's not your typical narrative film. The way it intertwines image and sound from one source creates this almost hypnotic experience. You really feel the pulse of the electronic sound matching the visuals, which are a blend of geometrical patterns that shift and change. It's like watching a live performance of art being generated right before your eyes. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost meditative, inviting you to immerse deeply in the atmosphere. There’s a certain experimental quality here that stands out, making it distinct in the realm of avant-garde cinema.

The Matter is relatively scarce, particularly in its original formats like 16mm or VHS, which collectors often seek. While it hasn’t garnered mainstream attention, its experimental nature draws in a niche audience who appreciate early multimedia art. Releases are few, and finding a clean copy can be a challenge, but that scarcity adds to its intrigue for collectors passionate about avant-garde cinema.
