Barbara Sternberg's TRANSITIONS 1982, 16mm, 11:30 Transitions” is a film of inner life and speaks of time, reality, power. It depicts the disquieting sensations of being between - between falling asleep and being awake, between here and there, between being and non-being. These metaphysical themes are evoked by the central image of a woman in white over which layers of images and sound (voices) are superimposed.
available from the cfmdc: http://www.cfmdc.org/node/1446 ---------------------- i have seen the film several times and it is an absolutely incredible film! one of my favourites. lots of optical printing... images of a woman tossing and turning in tangled sheets on a bed, sitting on the edge, smoking a cigarette, other images as well, repetitive superimpositions and the sound track is filled with layers of whispers some of which emerge more than others... i seem to recall the recurring phrase "i can't go to sleep" or something like that.... it is such an evocative and powerful film, especially for anyone who has ever spent a night laying half awake, half asleep. adc _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
