Ātman (Japanese: アートマン, Hepburn: Ātoman) is a 1975 Japanese experimental short film directed by Toshio Matsumoto.[2]
Film
[edit ]The film depicts a figure sitting in an outdoor environment and wearing a robe and a Hannya mask.[3] [4] The film features receding and shifting images captured in a frame-by-frame manner; though these shots resemble zooms and pans, they were actually derived from positioning the camera on a series of a points.[4] [5]
Reception
[edit ]In 1978, a writer for the Millennium Film Journal called Ātman "an intricately constructed film", and compared it to Michael Snow's Wavelength (1967) and Hollis Frampton's Travelling Matte (1973).[4]
The techniques Matsumoto used in this film were influential on his student Takashi Ito.[6]
