Chronos
 Chronos recounts the story of Western Civilization without uttering a single word. Award-winning filmmaker Ronald J. Fricke and composer Michael Stearns created a symphony of images and sounds that captures the essence of time. Chronos, which is the ancient Greek word for time, reveals life as an ever-changing phenomenon, a matrix of historical monuments--organic and man-made, majestic and everlasting. Through the influence of accelerating time, the camera follows the transition of human intelligence from the remnants of the Nile civilization to the high technology of North America and Europe. |
