What is Lightning about?
"When I look for the lightning, it never strikes. When I look away, it does." Filmed inside a car, this tape focuses on observation of natural phenomena, presenting the obverse of the "If a tree falls in the woods..." conundrum. Does observation change the course of events? Can you believe in things you don't see? In this experiment, the camera occupies a privileged position showing the woman and what she sees, as well as what she cannot see. Filmmaker Deborah Stratman cites "Lightning" as an influence, saying "This video seems to me in some small way what the magic of filmmaking is all about." The film reflects a distinct United States of America style and perspective. The story is brought to life by directors Paul Kos and Marlene Kos. With a runtime of 1 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
