Gregg Bordowitz- Fast Trip, Long Drop

Seems in part like satire when the fake newscaster comes on, and the other roles that he plays. I like that the filmmaker takes on different roles instead of telling us the story because it makes our visual connections and own thoughts very important. He is handing us the visual tools to draw a conclusion. The use of found footage and imagery connects to memory and also makes it more playful. Memory also plays a key element when he is talking about his father. This work could also fuction as a memento mori—a reminder that death is always upon us. He has taken this thought and used it to insight social change in himself and others.
