<div>It is a real 911 call from a 17-year old who killed his
mother and his sister in Texas in 2012. His calm demeanor is
morbid. The video is from an amusement park and there's more
to the 10.5-minute complete film than just the swinging bears.
The trailer contains both audio and video from the film. I
edited the full soundtrack for effect in the trailer just to
get some interesting bits and arrange them even more morbidly,
which makes me think that the trailer could be an experimental
film on its own. The video of the amusement park is a
depiction of where this 17-year old should have been--at an
innocent playground, having fun rather than committing a
double murder of his family members. The title Landscape is
from the fact that this type of activity is becoming the
landscape of our country--that is to say, gun violence. He
wanted to kill someone and he had access to a gun. It's
experimental because it's non-narrative but still tells a
story. It's not a documentary but just is what it is--a morbid
scenario played out with the backdrop of the alternative. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Experimental film can take a lot of different forms and a
lot of them I don't get either. Maya Deren had some good ones
whereas Kevin Jacobs films make me go, "meh".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can see all of Maya Deren's films on YouTube. Meshes of
the Afternoon is cool. I'm going to spoof it with my own
version titled, "Mensches of the Morning" or "Mensches of the
Early Evening" -- I haven't decided yet.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It seems I have a preference for experimental films made by
women -- their films are better--not just noise and images
(Hans Richter) but it's a matter of personal preference. Yoko
Ono started as a performance artist and experimental
filmmaker. </div>
