Shockwaves The Movie

"Koyaanisqatsi meets Natural Born Killers." "psychedelic, Surreal and mind-bending." "The Tree of Life meets Andy Warhol."

SHOCKWAVES is really an "uncanny" "intense" and "mesmerizing" film roughly a man whose traumatic memories of childhood send him for a hallucinogenic carnival ride of self-destruction and murder. Using a surrealistic Mobius strip of alternate realities, shifting times and multiple dimensions, SHOCKWAVES weaves a kaleidoscope nightmare tapestry of abuse and revenge. Know more about dream

A “dazzling” "metaphorical zeitgeist story," SHOCKWAVES "expresses what film up to now has not been prepared to." It will be "a genuinely new and original cinematic language that surpasses images, entering intravenously into our visceral understanding." "The liquid blood of cinema.”

Kasumi deployed an astonishing 25,000 public domain film samples, rotoscoped and live action film clips, dance choreography, sound, animation and music design to generate a work that transcends genre and blurs the line between composition, film and art. This “grotesque, beautiful, and transcendent” exploration with the nature of memory and our collective consciousness is “truly a symphony of your senses.”

The unique collaboration between Kasumi and Vimeo allows viewers to discover Shockwaves, a “remarkable achievement” in fine art filmmaking, through streaming and exclusive edition purchase. “As a platform that fervently supports cultural and artistic innovation through video, we have been honored to generally be presenting Kasumi’s first feature film to audiences worldwide in this particular unprecedented art opening,” said Greg Clayman, General Manager, Audience Networks, Vimeo. “Shockwaves can be a powerfully articulated piece that breaks all boundaries in media art.”

SHOCKWAVES is an utterly remarkable achievement that deserves to be seen by anyone who loves film, and to be studied by artists of all mediums, not just for its amazing technical accomplishment, but also for its deep and lasting emotional impact as a story of survival and liberation.
