Su Friedrich - Gently Down the Stream 16mm

Black & White film, 1981. This film was mentioned in Micheal Snows Film, "So Is This". A dream video in a way, this film was a font peice like " So Is This" were something is written on every frame. This film is presented at 18 frames per second, it is a serious of the filmmakers dreams and reflects to us the audiance the topics of her sub-concious. The filmmaker kept a dream journal to make this peice and as dreams often are it was very random. Su Friedrich skratched what she wanted to say on the film, not using title cards like Micheal Snow most likly did with his film. In the begining of the film she featured religious images and also water images. I did like this film because it kept my attention and it made me think about how my dreams are if i tried to put them into film. I thought Su Friedrich did an excelent job on this film and should be proud of the work on this film.
