Something about the screening this past Thursday night was intriguing yet remained vague just as much as every other week. We re-watched the Robert Breer films, Recreation and A Man and a Dog Out for Air, and yet their message still seemed confusing. Much like artwork, which is the background Breer came from, these films seemed more like collages of things and footage rather than anything that would send an underlying message. Recreation or as our class has deemed re-creation used the change in rhythm to signify an important object within the collage. Breer's idea to prove that the human eye is slow was greatly justified through the fast images thrown onto the screen making the viewer confused and lost on what they are seeing.

The other films viewed last week were even harder to grasp with The Wedlock House: An Intercourse showing explicit visuals to open the film as well as sprinkled throughout throwing the audience off its scent as to the point beyond the intercourse. It was odd to see what these filmmakers chose to use within their piece of works.
