Visions in Meditation #1

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.
