This site is born out of the files migration from my hard drive to the light on the web. Now I have something else to think about -- "writing on-line as a performance." A different type of writing and a special way of thinking. In the tradition of postmodern theories I consider you, reader, as my co-author and therefore I do not apologize for mistakes. Thought (truth) is a process (Hegel). If you like finished and polished texts, get a book.
The idea to think about film as the northern type of sensitivity is new to me and drives me crazy. First, rethinking the "geographic" perception; thanks to postmodern writers it is not a totally new thought. Second, the revision of my approach to the film phenomena -- you go to "View Points" page and see for yourself. Keeping it in mind, you can see how I arrived at teaching a new course. I welcome comments and suggestions. I consider this class as Film Studies using the "Northern" cinema -- Scandinavia, Russia, Germany and US. My aim is to study the nature of film -- the new postmodern notion of film as thought-feeling, nomadic structure of viewing experience, and the northern origins of cinema. Bergman and Tarkovsky are the two directors most suitable as material for analysis. (I still don't know how this class could be arranged in order to cover the basic philosophy behind those ideas).
