From Silence Comes

Yesterday's early morning rain cancelled out the creek roar for a silence that turned what sounded like a blues harmonica into the honk of passing geese.

The sound of the creek -- like a World Cup match!

Today is a travel day.

This time two years ago.

Kingsway

Looking west on Kingsway at Fraser, 8:30 p.m. The sun looked nowhere as vibrant as it does in the picture, but I had a feeling it might, so I took it.

la nuit américaine

On Page 100 Godard tells Losique (and the audience) that he and Truffaut have "completely, definitely fallen out...in part over money." One Page 101, Godard says:

We no longer have any contact. But it's not by chance that Day for Night won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, because it's a typical American film. "Day for night" is a technical term, it's an effect, the Americans often shoot night scenes during the day with a filter that makes the sky look dark blue. They call that day for night [la nuit américaine] rather than really filming at night. At the same time, I think this film won the award because it did a good job of concealing, at the same time as it made people believe it was revealing what cinema can be. Something magic about which nobody understands a thing but which at the same time attracts a kind of wizardry, luminosity, people moving about in every direction, a world both very pleasant and not. This makes people happy both not to be a part of it but also to pay five dollars to regularly see a film.

Here is another history, not of cinema but of warfare.
