dear Alan and Björn: I couldn't quite follow where you were going, Alan: "'no place and time for crying" was not the point, I gathered, the emotional side of war or violence or devastation, or someone's brief, was never addressed, I take it, nor the time one might need to mourn or to react.
What Björn points out is an interest in the absurd. Yes, that call for a one-second film is absurd, and possibly, given the context in which we live, a complete waste of time and our patience. As is the other festival I read about - a biennale that does not take place. >> Open call The biennale doesn't take place, with works that don't exist. There is nothing special to do. Do you want to participate? >> No thanks But then again, who am I to complain about the theatre of the absurd. regards, Johannes Birringer On Sat, Sep 28, 2024 at 5:04 PM Alan Sondheim via NetBehaviour < netbehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org> wrote: > > an interesting discussion - 'no place and time for' crying i think implies > devastation, people beyond recovery, beyond crying as an expression, in > other words, one way or another 'shell shocked' - in which case crying is > reduced to zero time... temporary or permanent destruction of the self as > capable of healing... > > On Sat, 28 Sep 2024, Bj?rn Magnhild?en via NetBehaviour wrote: > > > Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2024 10:57:11 +0200 > > From: Bj?rn Magnhild?en via NetBehaviour < > netbehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org> > > To: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity > > <netbehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org> > > Cc: Bj?rn Magnhild?en <noem...@gmail.com> > > Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] "I cry and I cry": Open Call for One-Off > Moving > > Image Festival 2024 > > > > It has taken me some time to find a response.
