The first Kinetica program follows the tradition of spiritual "visual music" into the 1960s and 1970s. The filmmakers in these decades expanded their imagery with new technologies, including optical printing, video, the computer, and the elaborate multiprojector light show. Some of these films have not been seen for decades, and have been newly preserved for Kinetica 4.
