In preparation for my return to east Africa this summer to complete shooting my final travelogue essay film I’m looking back at my time spent in Kenya this past summer. This week is devoted to the faces of Kenya. #fraternalfilms #thusthemovie #faces #kenya #africa #photography
I always feel that the purpose of art is to agitate for change, but you can’t change anything if you’re not aware of it.
Bigelow is back!!!!

*Travel is the only thing on this tiny planet that makes me happy. I started an experimental travel essay film series ten years ago. I got on a plane alone bound for Australia with only a few cameras and returned to America with a collection of images that I turned into a short film I called ‘So’. I was inspired by Chris Marker’s film 'Sans Soleil’ to take that trip in the first place. The philosophical questions posed in that film made me want to explore the world and ask my own questions. That film was honored with acceptance into the TriBeCa Film Festival where it had its world premiere. I continued my travels and questions throughout Europe and Tokyo with the next film 'And’. Now I am completing my essay series in Iceland and Africa with 'Thus’ (working title). Since this series that I devoted 10 years of my life to is coming to an end in the next year I realized that I don’t want to finish traveling. I don’t want to finish seeing the world through my lenses. The series will be done but I my travel passion can continue in a more immediate way. Using technology that wasn’t conceived when I started my films will be how I continue to inspire and display the beauty of our tiny planet.

“I’m a female Charlie Chaplin, I could have made slapstick comedy. I’m thinking more and more about acting again, in my films. My body in a movie is very important, it says something by itself, it has the weight of the Real. I can’t have actresses playing my clumsiness. It seems impossible for me to be in a restaurant without knocking something over: my gestures are too large, or I’m pursuing my thoughts and get startled. You’re out of convention with your own body, with your own way of moving” - Chantal Akerman
Love her. Miss her.

Day 332. I’m still obsessed with this movie and that performance. I’ve always LOVED the Kennedy’s. Jackie is my biggest fashion icon, after my mother, and this film pays great respect to her intellect and strength especially in the days right after her husbands murder. I saw it at a free screening but I will pay to see it again. That is the greatest compliment I can give to a film. #wcw #jackie #movielover #history #icon #fyc #awardsseason #day332
