Werner Nekes. "Film before Film." 1986. 83 min. Reflection

Out of the three films we watched Thursday evening, Werner Nekes's "Film before Film" most resonated within me. Though, the film was long and rather dry, "Film before Film" was extremely enlightening for me. The saying, "the more you learn, the more you realize how much you didn't know" was spinning in my mind as I had never before considered the many pioneers required to bring the modern day cinema that we now have today. It was an interesting journey through the history of film. "Film before Film" opened my eyes to the many historical aspects surrounding film and I cannot help, but wonder about the many moments of insight that are to come.
