AV here...

I 'm responding to a challenge issued by the administrator of this blog. I've been keeping a simple list of films I've seen this year using a format from "The Academic Hack," Michael Sicinski." He runs a great website, linked above and is way out of my league.

Nathaniel Dorsky @FPC
Song and Solitude "[Song and Solitude's] balance is more toward an expression of inner landscape, or what it feels like to be, than an exploration of the external visual world as such." 16mm, 2005-06, 21 min
Threnody "Threnody is the second of two devotional songs the first being The Visitation. It is an offering to a friend who died." 16mm, 2003-04, 20 min
The Visitation "... an occurrence, not one specifically of time and place, but one of revelation in one's psyche. The place of articulation is not so much in the realm of images as information, but in the response of the heart to the poignancy of the cuts." 16mm, 2002, 18 min
