Water and Power
Pat O’NEILL / 35mm / 54min / 1989
Upon its completion, Pat O’Neill’s astounding feature length experimental film “Water and Power” became a hot topic of conversation at the Berlin International Film Festival and various other venues. The film will be shown in 35 mm film.
“Water and Power” completed in 1989, is a major film of Pat O’Neill, a filmmaker of experimental films who has already secured his position as a specialist in special effects. While taking years to shoot time lapsed footage of light and human movement at various locations, this powerful film with overflowing imagination presents urban life as condensed visual “landscape.”
“This film does an excellent job of highlighting the city of Los Angeles. While it is not the biggest movie made about L.A., it is surely the most poetic and profound”.
— Paul ARTHUR (film critic, filmmaker)
