Mother Forest sketches  -- Page 3
... toward a possible experimental film that would embrace in part the increasingly endangered U.S. forest

   As mentioned, we're sketching out a possible film that would include a segment on the Applachian mixed-mesophytic forest and its challenges. The Cumberland forest is said to have served as the mother provider of hardwood trees and other forest life for the North American continent for 150,000 years but now has been decimated and fragmented.

   Below, is a 2-minute view of dew, leaves. flowers, while I was walking our two rescued dogs along a power-line cut in north Chattanooga, TN, hills, an edge that in this moment is abundant with spring mid-May life, birds audible.

  Below also is a 4-minute reflection while its raining on Jacque Rivette's "La Belle Noiseuse," on creativity, its joke, its sadness, its loveliness, its potential for disaster.
