Cursed houses eye and ear text 6

music as the settler/melancholy
poetry of collisions, though fatal

bookending colonialism
drifter enters the body of colonialism
a first nation citizen drifts across an ocean

an un-owned land is siezed, occupied, parcelled and sold
in the end her land was her grave
THAT too was violated

foreign bodies as virus to the nation

experimental techniques applied to the telling of histories gives the film full power of poetry

ALL FALL DOWN

there was one shot close to the ground , across a frozen body of water, a barrel enters the frame and is emptied of hot water that flows over the frozen surface towards the sun, as if to extinguish it.

the sadness of lives stolen would have that the sun had never shined.

in another part the hand processed film was pushed to such a contrast that the body seemed burned into the grass with light.

How to talk of a revelation, of a film? what is a film?

I do not want to speak of film but what it does.
