Review of Landing Lights By Graham Young

Video Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/filmnetwork/A34265270

This video is an animated video of a plane going straight through a building. Unfortunately I didn't get to watch it all the way through due to buffering problems but I got the general idea of it. I think that it is about the haunting memories of our past, for example the twin towers, where haunting memories like that repeat in our minds over and over again. The video itself repeats over and over again. The film is extremely dark and gloomy as the colours are. They depict that this film is a depressing one, not a happy and colourfull one. Personally I think that it has a very eiry feel to it and it is kind of weird. But alot of experimentals are like this. It could be thought of as a modern interpretation of Koyaanisquatsi, with the plane going through the building, and it could be about the destructiveness of human nature.
