Althea Thauberger "Inspiration of your close surroundings"

When Althea Thauberger came into our lecture monday she showed us four of her experimental films. The reaction to these films were not highly regarded. Many people didn't personally enjoy the content of these films. These feelings have possible came about because of her choice of subject. 

Althea really uses her surrounding in her films. She is a young women artist trying to collaborate with other young women artist. To  better herself and the other women she works with. It is a great idea that is good for all, But considering the environment it doesn't produce the most successful work.  In the Northern you are intrigue to watch the film by the opening pan over a clear cut field of seemingly dead people. This turns into very confusing acting and a repeat camera movement. The film is about her summer-camp experience planting trees, great experience for anybody, but not a great film idea. This might be a little haste, but I think her peers need to give her honest feedback on her films.
