This is a 1979 new-agey documentary about the perceptual abilities of plants. It was an early example of time-lapse film making of plants, to show sped-up growth of plants.
The all-instrumental soundtrack was done by Stevie Wonder, and was one of the first albums to be recorded digitally. He also used one of the first digital synthesizers for a lot of the music.
I found the entire film on Google Video. I think there's some cool stuff in here about consciousness and nature, not to mention the representation of nature using digital And analog technology--like what we're doing!
Not sure I believe all of the ideas in here, but its an interesting exercise in thinking about the inner world of plants.
