Visions in Meditation #1

Overview

This is a film inspired by Gertrude Stein's ""Stanzas In Meditation"", in which the filmmaker has edited a meditative series of images of landscapes and human symbolism ""indicative of that field-of-consciousness within which humanity survives thoughtfully."" It is a film ""as in a dream,"" this first film in a proposed series of such being composed of images shot in the New England states and Eastern Canada. It begins with an antique photograph of a baby and ends with a child loose on the landscape, interweaving images of Niagara Falls with a variety of New England and Eastern Canadian scenes, antique photographs, windows, old farms and cityscapes, as it moves from deep winter, through glare ice, to thaw.
