Critical Response
"Kuvaputki, by Edward Quist, belongs to a different genre again, so essential and hypnotic that it seems to go back to the origins of filmmaking: the bare, pure graphic representation of the steady beat of music."-The Milan Film Festival
"Edward Quist has managed to create a real jewel of "counter-animation." The visual experimentation is extreme and magnificent, and hopefully this effort will become a point of reference over the next few months for other, similar publications." -Dagheisha
"This process is really impressive as anyone who watches the DVD will realize. The black and white film unites exceptionally with the sound world of the Finns capturing the spectator. While Kuvaputki is a high quality effort, it would not be an exaggeration for it to be characterized as a real work of art."-Edjs
"The initial idea of producing a documentary on Pan Sonic's live shows culminated in this abstract audiovisual tour de force."-Sonar Festival
"More than a meanly illustrated live show, here is one true multimedia proposition, like a digital update of "In the Shadow of the Sun" by Derek Jarman and with Throbbing Gristle."-Dside
Sonar Electronic Festival described the film as “A beautiful and unique film capturing the very essence of a Pansonic live performance…. which really is quite an achievement”
SxSW Music Festival calls it “An embodiment. Probably the most perfect electronic music film yet”
ICA Film London “Surprisingly watchable. Forty minutes of unswervingly modern, super intense sound & visuals”

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or response:
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Parents’ accepting attitudes can help children learn to be open and tolerant. Parents can explain unfamiliar behavior or physical handicaps and show children that the appropriate response to differences should be interest rather than revulsion.”
—Dian G. Smith (20th century)
