Train Station (2015)
universal spiritual humanhood - alive and well, and collaborating!
this collaborative, "choose your own adventure" undertaking runs through the hands of filmmakers from over 20 countries, picking up 10 plus languages as it winds it's twisting way down the plot's 97 minute track. its quickly changing characters (swapping ages, sexualities, races, genders..) reach us with their touch of the universal spiritual humanhood, alive in all viewers, compelling us to become actively involved in the watching - (a hand over your mouth here, a fast gasp or widening of the eyes there). these fraction-of-a-second participatory interactions of the viewer mimic the quick pace of train passing over a humanity of track. like being at the olympics, you find yourself part of a relay race spanning the globe. the baton becomes vision, inspiration.. a camera. we are spectators, but as the film runs through our minds / hearts / souls, we find ourselves in the darkened auditoriums of our own lives, catapulted into a communal room as we follow the everyman in brown. blasting away at the bedrock of convention and leaving the remnants of new filmmaking genres in it's wake, it is truly a feat film.
