Somehow Continue

About This Movie

Somehow Continue is a fascinating piece, shot on 16mm, which gives it this raw, textured feel that feels like a window into another world. It explores the behind-the-scenes of Creation Destruction, a performance by Dana Gingras, with music from Godspeed You! Black Emperor, whose soundscapes really complement the visuals. The way it captures the chaos and beauty of collective efforts is pretty unique. The pacing meanders, almost like a dream, letting you soak in the atmosphere rather than rushing through. It’s this odd blend of documentary and art film, showcasing instability and resilience in a way that feels both personal and universal. Definitely something that stands out in the current landscape.

This film is relatively scarce, given its unique format and the lesser-known director. The 16mm aspect adds a layer of charm that appeals to collectors looking for distinctive visual styles. Its connection to a live performance by a notable choreographer and the musical score by Godspeed You! Black Emperor heightens its appeal, making it a curious piece for those interested in the intersection of film and performance art.
