Ceasing
An old piece of Zen wisdom advises when it is time to eat -- eat, when it is time to work -- work, and when it is time to die -- die. Buddhists' advise that to truly live, you must truly accept death. Ceasing explores the cyclical nature of life and death
A meditative piece
[From the Introduction] As its synopsis states, an old piece of Zen wisdom advises that ‘when it is time to eat – eat, when it is time to work – work, and when it is time to die – die’. Buddhists advise that to truly live, you must truly accept death. An experimental short that touched on concepts of birth and death. A meditative piece; I felt as though I was watching a visual representation at times of the Aboriginal Dreamtime. The soundscape haunting and I couldn’t help but think of Stanley Kubrick’s floating baby in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Immerse yourself in this one.
Nauseous
Once was definitely enough for me, it made no sense. Was it about life ceasing and beginning again? This film made me work hard emotionally and intellectually but gave me no obvious reward for enduring an unpleasant experience.
