I would not expect BYUTV to feature this Ron Fricke (of "Baraka" and
"Koyaanisqatsi" fame) film, with music by Michael Stearns ("The Lost
World," Stearns' album based on sound recordings from the tropical
rain forest of Mount Roraima in Venezuela, is a miracle:
http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-lost-world-r216240/review ), with no
dialog or plot in the usual sense, only images and music; yet BYUTV
just ran this film tonight, windowboxed, which can avoid overscan
errors.  Hugely recommended!  It may run again at 11 PM tonight, but
if not, it will run numerous times in the next week, according to
program info given below:

Chronos--the ancient Greek word for time--explores natural beauty and
man-made monuments while following the passage of time from the
remnant of the ancient Nile civilization to the high technology of
today's world. This stunning, innovative film is the first non-verbal,
non-fiction motion picture shot entirely in time-lapse photography. A
symphony of sound and music complements the film.
