Ātman (1975 film)
Ātman (Japanese: アートマン, Hepburn: Ātoman) is a 1975 Japanese experimental short film directed by Toshio Matsumoto. The film depicts a figure sitting in an outdoor environment and wearing a robe and a Hannya mask.[2][3] The film features receding and shifting images captured in a frame-by-frame manner; though these shots resemble zooms and pans, they were actually derived from positioning the camera on a series of a points.[3][4]
