A milestone film from American composer and filmmaker Phill Niblock, presented for the first time in DVD with two alternate soundtracks. T H I R is a mesmerizing and hypnotic film from his Environments series shot in upstate New York in 1972. This film is one of Niblock`s finest and undiscovered jewels.

As the longest night of the year unfolds and the journey of our planet nears the point when Winter commences in the Northern Hemisphere, Phill Niblock stages his annual Winter Solstice concert for the 10th consecutive year at Roulette. Starting at 6pm, the performance will comprise of six sublime hours of acoustic and electronic music and mixed media film and video in a live procession that charts the movement of our planet and the progress of ourselves through art and performance at its maximal best.

第一部短片是1966年由“实验媒介”（Experimental Intermedia）的创始人美国艺术家菲尔·尼布洛克（Phill Niblock，1933-）拍摄的《魔幻太阳》。菲尔·尼布洛克是著名的极简主义先锋音乐家，同时也兼做实验电影，《魔幻太阳》是他的第一部作品，用胶片反色和大量的特写镜头拍摄Sun Ra & his Solar Arkestra演奏一首长达18分钟的曲子。整部影片给我的感觉就是两个字 -“迷幻”，无论是影像还是音乐都可以使人产生一种幻觉。Sun Ra就不用多说了，美国著名的自由爵士钢琴家，他和他的Solar Arkestra乐队在上世纪六十年代创作出了也许是史上最天才的先锋爵士乐，并影响了后来一大批新迷幻摇滚及太空摇滚乐队。
