Scott Novotny: A Trip to Goofyville

Deus um Fogo...

White Museum “The cinematic equivalent of flipping the bird, White Museum is an audacious and often hilarious early effort by master provocateur Mike Hoolboom. Viewers must wait about 30 minutes to see the one and only image in the film. In the meantime, Hoolboom expounds on everything from old lovers to making movies to living in the big city. With unabashed irony, he argues for a cinema without images, while simultaneously describing the images he would show if he had the cash. For a film that appears on the surface to be literally about nothing, White Museum becomes a veritable cornucopia of semiotic jokes and meanings, as well as a rich statement on the nature of cinema itself.” –Jason McBride, Canadian Film Encyclopedia

One Goes On One Goes On follows individuals and the events which influence our perceptions of them. A young lawyer indifferently discusses a relationship; a woman discusses a dolphin harvest at a chic party; a rural entrepreneur relates his most recent project as he visits the scene of a local disaster. Certain sequences and stories unfold in real time while others are altered to allow closer scrutiny. As the tape progresses, these connected narratives evoke a strong sense of loss.
