Everything Passes<br />

Experimental<br />

by Walter Ungerer<br />

Camden, ME. 9 min.<br />

“Everything Passes”<br />

refers to life, and human<br />

existence. In the<br />

film everything we see<br />

is from the deck of a<br />

home in Maine: clouds,<br />

distant landscape,<br />

birds at a feeder. An<br />

older woman stares at<br />

the camera, white hair, smiling, in disgust, pensive, fearful.<br />

She talks about her English accent, her children, and making<br />

Christmas pudding. Summer changes to winter. This is a tone<br />

poem, an ode to aging. It reveals what is sensed, not seen.<br />

Animated iterations<br />

and recursions made<br />

with sixty-four 2” x<br />

3” collages form a<br />

hypnotic bombardment<br />

of color and shapes,<br />

accompanied by music<br />

from Malian artist Luka<br />

Productions.<br />
