Running Shadow II 1972

Directed by Robert Fulton

Rapidly changing images of natural objects, scenery, animals, plants, and people flicker, flash, tumble, and cascade across the screen. Running Shadow is Fulton’s most dizzying and vertiginous film, in full demonstration of the gyrating flight simulating body-weight balance camera arm as eye he perfected. The landscape where he fully indulges in twists and turns becomes alien, with crashing waves on the soundtrack letting us know that nature always comes out on top.
