"The Mystic" - Stoil Vatev

i found this little gem searching on vimeo.com. do you folks know about this site? it is a really awesome complement to youtube, and i have my friend, kim, to thank for introducing it to me. the videos are of a higher quality, often created by professionals or at least very talented amateurs. they also have projects that you can do. it also tends to be more international.

what i love about this particular video is that it is magical realism on film. i often dream of fantastical and mystical things taking place in normal life: flowers under someone's hat, a door that leads to the cosmos, an inconspicuous prophet in an alley. all of these things are actually happening, though. we just don't recognize them when they are happening...

in love,
ge

  1. How we see things and what we see are not opposite. They interpenetrate. Hats are great, and so is the tree thing, as well as the stop-action. It allows so much!
