"In cinema one extracts the thought from the image; in literature the image from the thought." (Levinson). This reflection was the catalyst for the photographic and narrative strategies for this film. It was born out of an image-notion of a skid mark on a highway, photographed in close-up, revealing texture and form. The image would be positioned with a voice-over narration, telling the story of a young boy witnessing a fatal auto accident and his ensuing aftermath. Over the following winter months I meditated on the cinematic potentials of that notion. The result is the product of working out variations on that meditation. <60mn 46s>Language:EnglishTechnique:EXPERIMENTALDetailed holdings information: -
