SHORT FILM
'Journal Entries' is inspired by Hollis Frampton’s narration of ‘Nostalgia’ and Omer Fast’s editing process in ‘The Casting’.
Both videos show how images, combined with narration, can entice someone to astray from the right behavior or mindset, distort facts to fiction and produce outcomes that recreate some abstract forms of reality.
a fine example of dark humour.
this brilliant team managed to present a real issue in our (the middle east) education system and managed to get a few laughs out of me. the actors are all brilliant (including the kids), the choice of music is fitting and cinematography is insane.
i only wish it had subtitles so i can share this with non-arabic-speaking friends.
