Tusalava poster

Released in 1929, Tusalava is a notable film directed by Len Lye.

What it’s about. With the screen split asymmetrically, one part in positive, the other negative, the film documents the evolution of simple celled organic forms into chains of cells then more complex images from tribal cultures and contemporary modernist concepts. The images react, interpenetrate, perhaps attack, absorb and separate, until a final symbiosis (or redemption?) is achieved.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.9/10, Tusalava has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
