THE GARDENER OF EDEN (James Broughton)

James Broughton as a "poet, and an avant-garde film maker" (Gary Morris) make a nice idea of telling a poem by means of filming it and he is the father of west coast experimental film.

The Gardener of Eden is an experimental film made by James Broughton, it is a poetry in video which is shot at Sri Lanka, and it was shot by James Singer

The film shows different sceneries of Sri Lanka while someone is narrating it, (try to watch it at UBU.com)

Its a poetry in video that shows god keeping an eye for the many things he created and see the many changes in it

The sceneries of Sri Lanka is a good place to shoot this kind of work for it really makes you feel your in paradise, but the music makes my head aches because of the screeching sound and the camera isn't stable, but i think that the director have reasons for it, i think that the camera was moved that way for us to feel dizzy, because the director want us to feel like we were God, a single divinity to watch billions of things of his creation.

I like how James Broughton narrates the poem, he just simply narrate it, as a poem-writer myself i think thats the most important thing in writing poems, make the people feel what your saying
