The visual sight of the world around you through a pin hole, gives me a whole new world to see.



I found both Tomonari Nishikaka films interesting maybe one more than another, but I like to see experimental filmmaking. Market Street seemed more planned out and thoughtful, unlike clear blue sky that seemed almost spontaneous.

Michael Snow

Michael Snow created a film titled "So is This"; a set of single words one right after another to create a story/information for people to experience something much more then any other text could do. I really enjoyed Snow’s film mostly because, I’m not that fast of a reader, usually when I watch a film that has subtitles I could never keep up with them, and everyone around me could. But in his film, I felt that I was in it with everyone around me, and everyone was at the exact same tempo. It was a little weird for me when there is complete silence, until Snow presented us with something funny, everyone would laugh at the same time. The fact that there was no sound at all, but everyone would experience this film the same, was mind-boggling.
