About This Movie
Turtle Dreams is a fascinating blend of music and visuals, crafted for WGBH-TV in the early '80s. The work of Ping Chong shines through with its distinctive style, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that pulls you in. Meredith Monk's composition is hauntingly beautiful, and her Vocal Ensemble adds layers of emotion that resonate throughout the piece. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb each moment and the themes of nature and existence unfold slowly, almost meditative. There’s something about the practical effects—simple yet evocative—that enhances the overall experience. It’s a unique artifact of its time, showcasing how television could intersect with art in unexpected ways.
Produced for WGBH-TV · Original air date: September 2, 1983 · Shot by Ping Chong
