Trains of Winnipeg - 14 Film Poems

A visually opulent, almost hypnotic film made by Clive Holden comprises fourteen film poems interweaving the magical language of transformed images in the structure of recited poetry. The picture is based on the tradition of the experimental film, but its materials, including the most modern ones, such as Internet image messages, is inseparable from the author’s text absorbed in listening to the rhythm of the landscape and the symphony of time. Suggestive music accompaniment expresses the nostalgia over the unstoppable elusiveness of a human life. The film is a part of an extensive multimedia project comprising, apart from the film, a soundtrack, a book and web pages (www.trainsofwinnipeg.com).
