Mandala

author: Jordan Belson

Jordan Belson, an American abstract filmmaker, crafted the experimental film “Allures” in 1961. This visually entrancing work explores the interaction of light, color, and form through intricate, evolving patterns. Belson’s use of visual music, a term he coined to describe the synchronization of abstract visuals with musical elements, creates a synesthetic experience for the viewer. “Allures” is a testament to Belson’s mastery in manipulating visual and auditory elements to evoke a meditative and transformative cinematic experience, solidifying his place in the realm of avant-garde filmmaking.
