first day back after the
break – a couple of good sessions with year 3 students at NUA - starting the briefing
for their final unit and then the draft learning agreement workshop. there are
some good ideas out there and I’m looking forward to seeing the results in 20
weeks time.
meanwhile I got to see 2001
at Aldeburgh cinema last night – quite wonderful - it was great to see the film
as a form of seed – informing so much from Start Wars and obviously Moon, Interstellar
and Gravity. But also people like Matthew Barney and his Cremaster cycle http://www.cremaster.net/ An oddly immersive
film to see is The Congress http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1821641/
some of it based on The Futurological Congress by Stanisław Lem but a lot of it from itself! – it’s a
little all over the place when watching with some huge linking gaps within the
plotline but the film holds your attention enough that the conversation after manages
to fill in any gaps, although after reading the plot on imbd I think maybe I
missed a bit!
