I have stopped watching commercial movies since 2000 more or less. I got tired of repetitive patterns, clichés and "twists" that dominate most contemporary film making. Yet when I first accidentally entered a screen showing Packard's work, I was blown away forever! It felt like there was still life on earth. Some people somewhere on the planet still making honest cinema. The experience was so intense That I didn't manage to see all of it.I had to get out for a breath. a few scenes were more than enough to rearrange my brain structure and gain courage and hope for my own artwork. a bold effort to give form and shape to abstract thinking/emotions/feelings , an effort to achieve what cannot be told, what most fear to accept. Packard is a modern age hero, I revisit his work frequently and show it to my students. I recommend the film to everyone with knowledge of cinema history.
