a short film about film

This is first and foremost about film, film making, and film viewing. Film viewing involves a sort of film making as you take the images and cobble them together, which is why different people can see different films from the same images given.

The boy is both the director and the viewer as he cobbles together the images from his telescope. The woman is both the film and the director, as she IS the image and decides what images to show him.

They meet and the film he created is not the film she is. Then at the end, film itself becomes the film maker/viewer. She creates the film and the boy has also become the film.

This is some great stuff here...film viewer as film maker...film creating film...life as film...film as life.

It is about love too. Romantic love is but a movie we create using films as source (it used to be literature).

Intelligent. Kieslowski.
