Chair: Hing Tsang
Kersti Uibo will screen extracts from her latest film This is the Day
and an earlier film Narrow is the Gate and discuss the role of
intimacy in the filmmaking process.
"This is the day is the culmination of 10 years research in
Kosovo. Her earlier film Narrow is the Gate in 2002
made the author aware of significant differences in style between a
poetical film-meditation and a journalistic essay . This is the
Day explores the notion of home, community and landscape in a
religious community which is nevertheless very much part of a wider
historical and geographical event. This is the Day is a near
wordless description of a unique way of life which remains both
contemporary and timeless. Painterly and elegiac, the film is a portrayal
of both physical and emotional landscapes." (Hing Tsang)
