To be honest, last week's screening was probably one of the most forgettable for me. None of the films in particular really stood out or spoke to me (at least in comparison to many of the other films we have watched this semester). but just because these films didn't initially enchant me doesn't mean they are boring or without merit. I've been re-watching some of them and one that I have completely changed my mind about is LeGrice's Berlin Horse. Last Thursday I was horribly annoyed by the seemingly mindless repetition, both in terms of Eno's music and LeGrice's visuals. But watching it again, I was struck by the beauty of the colors and the haunting quality the visuals obtain through such repetition (even if the endless circling did start to make me feel sick).
I can't say I've achieved quite the same appreciation for the repetition of Breme's Baume im Herbst, but I am very interested to discuss it more and try to find the same beauty in it that I found in LeGrice's film.
