Terra (2005)

Filmmaker Alan Pakarnyk uses radiant splashes of colour and simple composition in a seemingly random kaleidoscope of motion to depict nature at work. Sweeping the viewer through a whirlwind cycle of the seasons, the film crashes violently from one image to the next in a tour de force of beauty and destruction. Pakarnyk's imagery accelerates beyond traditional linear time-lapse techniques to become fodder for the relentless demolition process that is Nature in all its grandeur and power.
