Female narrations have a unique level of emotional power.
The forum of woman's body has been used to widely convey an exceptional
amount of commentaries on life, sex, sexuality, society and culture in so many
forms of artistic manifestation. Any artist attempts to connect by presenting his/her best depiction of the world he/she sees, chooses to see, or what he/she dreams into truth. This is how Short Cuts Canada :
Programme II engages you into thinking about around the discourse of a woman.
I can't be happier about seeing these films. They just added to the buzz that
TIFF 08 has placed in my system this year. I have been lucky and excited to be
exposed to a variety of films that document both abstract and directly, the
uncertain path of a woman in this world today, the jaded intentions she will
face, and the love she will realize. Fate brought me to this theater. I ate it up and I came out full.
I love looking at people as they watch movies. Only for short periods of time
when I can sneak a peak in a shy glance and not loose track of the pictures and
sounds protruding from the beam on-screen. I admit that I can't help but look intently
and wonder what someone is thinking when they are watching a movie. I can tell
you that every woman in this cloaked dark room had an antenna up to taste,
smell, listen and feel the heroism of all these female characters.
From an adolescent dealing with separated parents in Spoiled, to the
avant-garde creation of a brain-spinning tale of imagination in Night Vision. These filmmakers and actors experiment with the conventional way of producing thought
provoking narrative and inspire feeling in language, cinematography and perspective.
Short Cuts Canada: Programme II was a live art installation, and I
had the privilege of watching each delicate piece be hung.
Until my next prance
around the silverscreen?
