As True As Troilus is a 20 minute film shot on black and white super 8 and 16mm film and often performed with a live soundtrack by FareWell Poetry. The film takes its title and mythology from Chaucer’s important 14th century poem ‘Troilus and Criseyde’.

Also, if you have an Apple product (I don't) you can download a free app that seems to turn it into an interactive experience. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/farewell-poetry-as-true-as/id466413875?mt=8

This is both great in and of itself and perfect for our theme..
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts about this video: in college, our Dream Appreciation class was required to read Chaucer, record our dreams, and see what part of, and in what way, that day content turned up in our dream content. It seems that FareWell Poetry has been listening in on my dreams.
I sure miss Geoffie.
ReplyDeleteI am really astonished by the live production going on right before us...sounds like something that would have been done in a studio with all kinds of overlays...very haunting.
