Cleaned up my studio to get into the right editing mood. We shot some more footage of me and I kept on editing. It feels much better now. The film feels like a whole but with a few gaps. I will finish some kind of rough cut again for my supervisor on Tuesday. And I must quote S after I showed him a new sequence I cut yesterday. He said:
When it works it works.
On Thursday I participated in an ethnographic film screening online. It turned out I had already watched Withering House (and met the filmmaker) in Freiburg. I think it was even better this time around.
Tonight I finally watched Ruben Östlund’s Play, which has been on my list since it came out – in 2011! It was as brilliant as Force Majeure and The Square. Think Michael Haneke doing Lord of the Flies.
