Seeing in the Rain

About This Movie

Seeing in the Rain is quite the fascinating piece, really. It’s not your typical documentary. Shot through a Vancouver city bus windshield, the film uses the natural rhythm of the wiper to edit its scenes. It creates this cubist feel, pulling apart the linearity of a bus ride into something more fragmented and thought-provoking. You get this unique atmosphere as rain streaks blur the world outside, making you feel like you’re part of the journey. The pacing is rhythmic, almost hypnotic, leading you to contemplate the mundane yet beautiful aspects of urban life. There’s an experimental vibe that’s not often seen, and it challenges how we perceive time and space in film. It’s a quiet but striking exploration of the everyday.
