The Hellstrom Chronicle

Screening on Film
Directed by Walon Green and Ed Spiegel.
US, 1971, 35mm, color, 90 min.

Creatively utilizing a fictional scientist narrator, stock footage, and unusual microscopic stop-motion photography, The Hellstrom Chronicle reveals a secret world of insects in a struggle with humans for global domination. A rarely screened expression of seventies sci-fi imagination at its most fertilely paranoid, The Hellstrom Chronicle marries the beauty of its stunning cinematography with its bleak message of nature suddenly unwilling to nurture.
