Praise
24 minutes Black and white silent 16mm 2005
A prologue excerpt
from the poem "Try to praise the mutilated world" sets
the mood for this film of framed contrasts: black and white, negative
and positive, light and dark. Recurring images of trees root the
film, unifying its segments, and suggest further twinning: (knowledge
of) good and evil, ephemeral and eternal—praise and mutilation.
“…a
buoyant poem in black and white.” (Cinematheque Ontario program
notes)
