Critical Mass (1996)
Movie"Before why there is because Before knowledge there is knowing Before rules there is ritual"
Shot on Super 8 and blown up to 16mm for a dreamlike effect CRITICAL MASS is a strange poetic vision of childhood From its first vision sequence to its consequential conclusion the film follows one boys wanderings both internal and external as he tries to make sense of his world Life death time and place become interchangeable when he happens upon a dead crow a barren hilltop and a small boy who serves as a catalyst for his actions CRITICAL MASS explores the power of childhood imagination that makes play become reality
DirectorJohn Cannizzaro
