An Anagram

The film I made from Gary Henoch and Harlow Robinsons footage An Anagram is not a documentary at all but rather a poetic essay on the impact of the sudden collapse of a belief system on a culture It has a 17 part quasimusical structure inspired by Dmitri Shostakovichs Preludes and Fugues that at times ignores the literal meaning of certain interviews for the fragrant affect of the language and body language that is certain interactions are left untranslated so that the viewer is given full and unfettered access to the musical spirit that animates the arguments and quarrels caught so delicately in the sound and images Daniel Barnett
