About First Americans (Part I): And Their Gods

Synopsis

Colorful animation, based on pre-Columbian Indian designs, surveys the religious beliefs and practices of the Indians of Central America before the arrival of Columbus. Utilizing pointillist, abstract, and multiplanar split-image figures, Stapp describes Mayan and Aztec cultures, unfolding in codex-like form, accompanied by ethno-concrète music by Thomas Wagner & Arthur Burrows.

Director: Philip Stapp
