CGiii Comment

An example of video poetry...

Perhaps a little bit of music would have helped...to get us to the end.

A terminal bore - because, the poetry is not very good, neither are the images.

Gently Down the Stream (1981) from Su Friedrich on Vimeo.

The(ir) Blurb...

GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM is constructed from fourteen dreams taken from eight years' worth of my journals. The text is scratched directly on to the film so that you hear your own voice as you read. The accompanying images of women, water, animals and saints were chosen for their indirect but potent correspondence to the text.
