Second Sight is delighted to announce two stunning films from visionary director Ron Fricke, the masterpiece Baraka and the visual odyssey Chronos, presented in a fantastic box set.

Fricke burst onto the scene as director of photography for the groundbreaking Koyaanisqatsi in 1983 and has since gone on to deliver the wonderful Chronos and the rousing Baraka, a huge success upon its DVD release.

Baraka

A visually stunning film shot over 13 months in 24 countries, Baraka is an overwhelming experience that spans the geographical, cultural and social diversity of our changing planet. Set to an atmospheric soundtrack inspired by various rituals and nature itself; the film captures the very essence of man’s relationship with the earth, both harmonious and catastrophic. Baraka is a journey of rediscovery. It is the power, the beauty and the rage of life itself. It is the world we live in.

Extras include ‘making of’, crew interviews and ‘behind the scenes’ feature

Chronos

Chronos is the directorial debut of Ron Fricke, director of Baraka and cinematographer of Koyaanisqatsi. Originally shot in the largest film format, Imax 1570, the film imparts a unique vision of our world – the first non-verbal, non-fiction motion picture filmed in time-lapse photography. Presented as a visual symphony in seven movements, Chronos embarks on an unprecedented cinematic journey across the worlds of natural beauty and manmade monuments, as it explores the essence of time.

Extras include director, composer, production manager commentary and ‘behind the scenes’ feature
