Yantra (1957)
Yantra is named with the Sanskrit word for "holy machine," either a meditational device, like a mandala, or the great clockwork order of the universe. The film consists entirely of dot patterns punched into thousands of 5x7 cards with a pin, over a five-year period; then, using a computerized control, the images were overlaid in multiple positions and angles. The images enact a revelation of some primal mystery, flickering particles that boil up to a climax of shattering vigor: creation laid bare.All Releases
