Empyrean
Viewers interested in modern cinema often explore Empyrean because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.
An abstract, meditative piece, Empyrean was “filmed” at the altar of celluloid cinema. Using a mobile phone camera, director Kalpana Subramanian intercepted mediated light from the projector during screenings of various 16mm prints of films by Stan Brakhage (1933-2003). The film is part of her larger, art-based research project, Light Mediated: Eyes on Brakhage, which explores the poetics of the moving image.
