Overview
I remember the first day of class, George brought in that column from the Utah Herald Star, the ode to the truck driver, by Dan Armstrong (?), and read it aloud to us, with feeling, selling the concept. Hilarious! Then we quickly got down to business and watched THE THING by Howard Hawks. He owned as print, of course. Stu and I shine in the roadhouse performance sequence. Rig Rock never sounded better. —Mitch McNeil

Gravity(en)
The cinematic kiss is probably one of the most archetypical images to be found in film history. It is usually a reassuring and sometimes climactic element in a movie's storyline. Not in Nicolas Provost's 'Gravity' though: with stroboscopic effects, more than a dozen kissing scenes, most from stereotypical 1950s romantic dramas, are edited together and superimposed. Narrative is subverted as the kissing is isolated from its context entirely; the action slows down and flickers back and forth. Every now and then, shots from different films overlap and match; protagonists merge and diverge again a few seconds later. The sugary and dramatic soundtrack of romantic film music contrasts with the deconstructed images; together, they form a dazzling 6-minute vertigo where love becomes a passionate battle.
