Solution to No Subtitles by Pandiculator

 No Subtitles by Pandiculator

Several clues were entered lacking an anagram of LIFE. First letters of remaining across clues’ extra words spelt out FILM, DIRECTOR, and SCORER. These pointed towards the cult 1982 experimental non-narrative film Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance, whose director (Godfrey REGGIO) and scorer (Philip GLASS) appear as part of 13dn and 12dn.

Extra letters from other down clues spelt out SIX CELLS MAIN DIAGONAL. Changing six cells along the main diagonal revealed KOYAANISQATSI while maintaining real words or names throughout the grid. The title alludes both to the thematic clues and the non-narrative nature of the film.

Highlighting (director and scorer) and shading (thematically altered entries) not required.
