Aria is a 1987 British film produced by Don Boyd from Virgin Group's visual section consisting of ten short films by a variety of directors. It was entered into the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.[1]

Each segment features its director's visual accompaniment to arias and scenes from operas. Each film has minimal dialogue (some none at all), with most of the spoken content being the operas' lyrics (libretto) in Italian, French, or German.

the directors are:
altman
beresford
bill bryden
godard
derek jarman
franc rodman
roeg
ken russell
charles sturridge
julien temple

& it's all 86 mins supposedly (?)
