The Galilean Satellites - Europa

Details

Overview

An abstract film that imagines the icy hatched-marked world of Jupiter's moon, Europa. This is the first in a four-part series dedicated to filmmaker Stan Brakhage. The soundtrack consists of recordings from several probes that visited the moon, as well as whale songs- an imagining of the possible life beneath the icy surface. The imagery combines hand-painted liquid crystals and footage from a local aquarium.
