• Summary:Brazil 84 is from Niblock's series The Movement of People Working. 16mm, unedited long shots, carefully framed to compress single movements, shot in rural and urban settings, capturing people in their working environments, men and women using their hands and body to an eternal working choreography that seems tuned to the microtonal universe of Niblock's music. Originally silent, Niblock chose to add his music as the soundtrack, as he often does during screenings of his films. These works, specially compiled for this release, are presented in both stereo and surround mixes. For this DVD, a new transfer was made of the original 16mm film, which was then restored under Niblock's supervision.
  
• Notes:Full screen (4:3).
  Brazil 84 is from a series of films called "The movement of people working" which Phill Niblock filmed between 1973 and 1991 in Japan, Brazil, China and elsewhere.
