Chronos part 1

Ron Fricke's (1985) beautiful film.
Ron Fricke is an American film director and cinematographer, considered to be a master of time-lapse photography and large format cinematography. He was the director of photography for Koyaanisqatsi (1982) and directed the purely cinematic non-verbal non-narrative feature Baraka (1992). He designed and used his own 70mm camera equipment for Baraka and his later projects. He also directed the IMAX films Chronos (1985) and Sacred Site (1986). His most recent work was as cinematographer for parts of the film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The sequel to Baraka, Samsara, is currently in production.
Fricke writes about his work: "I feel that my work has evolved through Koyaanisqatsi, Chronos and Baraka. Both technically and philosophically I am ready to delve even deeper into my favorite theme: humanity's relationship to the eternal". (from Wikipedia)

@tall32guy I love baraka, the part that really gets me is the street kids.

For those who are not aware, the same guy who directed the epic Baraka several years after this, Ron Fricke, was the person who directed this. Michael Stearns also did the music on that film. Baraka is like this only even MORE breathtaking!

Hey man, you might check the attribution of that quote. I doubt that he said it to Wikipedia. You should give credit to the original interviewer.
