Here's a list of short films/movies I've watched that I've found to be pretty interesting: Kalamandalam Gopi (1999) - Documentary on Kathakali (South Indian dance style) dancer Kalamandalam Gopi. I don't know much about Kathakali but I still thought it provided a pretty good background on it and Gopi's life story as well Corazon Sangrante (1993)- Technically a music video but it's on letterboxd (Directed by Ximena Cuevas, Song by Astrid Hadad) Annea Lockwood: A Film About Listening (2021) - Movie about Composer Annea Lockwood and her works Modulations (1998) - Documentary by Iara Lee on electronic music, features countless people involved with electronic music at the time Basket (1975, Alanis Obomsawin) - Documentary on basket making with a Lil̓wat7úl (one of the indigenous languages of western Canada) narrator Monster Movie (2005, Takeshi Murata) - Distorted/glitchy frames of old action movies with a pretty good soundtrack

RECORD YOUR LIFE

Video someone you love whilst they talk. Record the sound of the birds singing at your grandparents’ house, the sound of traffic in the distance. Write about literally anything, or even just make notes of what you think. Make shitty art, whether it’s poetry or painting or music. One day, you’ll be glad that you have more than just photos to remember your life by; there’ll be evidence you lived.

Looking through other people’s windows (bonus points if they’re the windows of a flat)

Not in a creepy way. I love looking at what they’ve got sat in their windowsill, and imagining the kind of person that stuff would belong to. Picturing the layout, and wondering if I’ll ever live somewhere similar, and whether they like it or not. I often find myself getting carried away trying to envision myself living in that place, in that location, even going as far as to imagine a career and social circles and a morning routine for myself, only to be jolted back to reality when I see the sillouhette of the inhabitant, the vague and shadowy suggestion of a real life person rather than some sort of self-insert. If I’m caught staring, I try to give them a look that says “you’d really benefit from investing in a pair of curtains,”.
