Maas Observation (Netherlands, 1997) Karel Doing, Greg Pope 11 min B&W
This quiet black-and-white short is an impressionistic piece of the Rotterdam harbour. Seen in tandem with his own film Energy Energy, one is tempted to say that Karel Doing is creating an ouevre about our industrialized society, here given a somber tone with its abundance of grays. This has a poetic delicacy, and has a subtle way of staying with you afterwards.
