Hello again,
It's almost tomorrow so I thought that I should get online real quick. I am working on contact printing for a film workshop. It's very fun and I am getting a lot done, however my hands smell terrible. Yesterday I talked about the film D'est. I touched on some ideas that I had noticed throughout the film. The first one was transportation. Any form of transportation was utilized. There were cars, bikes, and trolley cars throughout the entire film. I wanted to understand what was meant by this but I still am not entirely sure what was meant, or if there is meaning to be found. Second was a constant dolly shot obsession with people waiting, I assume they are waiting for some type of train at a station. I am not sure though. After learning more about the film and understanding the title, "From the East" I realize that this film was a journey piece. From Germany to Moscow, and filming the people as she went. I did realize that we went from summer to winter as well. Very warm and inviting settings to cold, damp and dark settings. Talk to you tomorrow.

That's a concept of time i didn't pick up on, as the film moved to darker and more depressing settings, Akerman was literally going east. Although, the shots in Germany weren't super thrilling or happy either, but at least there were some shots of nature and a little bit of peace; in the russian shots there was the same noise but less contemplation, more of the shots moved, at least the outside ones did.
