Adventures in film

046. For anybody who does not know, I hate 046.

For anyone who is not a film major 046 is a six semester class that is required of a theater and film majors. If you are a film major you sign up for "the film experience" and hope that some professor is making a movie that semester. Otherwise you see 8 movies and write about them. Valuable stuff.

Never mind the fact that I just declared
my major this year so I am now stuck doing this pointless six semester
course until I'm 22 years old, but it is also pretty clear that there
won't be any productions to work on this semester.

What does
this mean? Well it means that I will be spending the reminder of the
school year in the Gish Theater watching art films.
Last night I saw a movie from Argentina, it wasn't bad, it wasn't a Spanish Woody Allen movie as the women who introduced it (who looked creaply like a Spanish version of my mom) would have me to believe but it wasn't bad.
Tonight, though, I went the Mad Cat film festival sponsored by the Women's Center.
One hour of pure art films my friends.
Score.
My favorite film had to be the film Deep Woods.
It was a six minute shot of an out of shape British man
jerking off.
This was an obvious symbol for the absurdity of the military-industrial complex.
Whoever didn't get that was just a dumbass.

Next semester I'm going to work on a play or something. I mean theater people can be weird but at least they sing and dance.

ick.

In other news I had my first try with a 16mm camera on Wed. night. It took me 25 minutes to figure out how the load the damn thing and I might have exposed all of my film.
I am amazing.
