This quarter my Foundations of Cinema class is quite inspiring. My professor is an artist herself therefore shares thought about stylistic films in class. Recently we watched one of Guy Maddin’s short films titled, “The Heart of the World” which is posted. It was the first time I’ve seen it and it took my breathe away. The intensity of music choice and rapidness of the cuts is genius. This film looks like it was made in the early 1920′s but, was actually made in 2000 on a one million dollar budget in a warehouse in Canada. I look forward to catching more of Maddin’s work and am excited to use some of the same treatments on my own film endeavors.
