Vite

About This Movie

Vite is an intriguing short film that stands out in the late 60s landscape. Daniel Pommereulle's direction, though not widely known, captures a surreal atmospheric quality, weaving together themes of time and existence. The pacing is deliberate; it allows viewers to reflect on the haunting visuals, notably the stunning lunar shots that utilize a Questar telescope. The film feels almost like a visual poem, inviting contemplation rather than immediate engagement. It’s a unique piece within the Zanzibar productions, especially given its high production costs for a short, which adds a layer of curiosity for collectors.

Vite has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat scarce in collector's circles. The film's intriguing combination of art and technology, reflected in its expensive production values, draws interest. As such, original formats can be hard to come by and are often sought after by those who appreciate avant-garde cinema from this era.
