Chronos tells the story of civilisations through a symphony of music and imagery. Time-lapse footage perceives life as an ever-changing phenomenon, a collection of seemingly slow motions, both organic and man-made, majestic, and eternal. Ron Fricke, the director of cult essay documentaries, is a prominent cinematographer who designed and constructed a special 65 mm camera using film with 15 perforations and a unique image motion control system. Chronos was released in the IMAX format and has been screened in science museums since.
