Ley Lines

Réalisé par Patricia Gruben

Canada, 1993 (documentaire / expérimental, 80 minutes, couleurs, anglais)

Description du film [en anglais] :
« Taking her own last name as her primary organizing principle in approaching the past, Patricia Gruben has constructed one of the most inventive personal archeologies and family histories ever filmed. Over six years in the making, Ley Lines eschews conventional narrative storytelling in favour of associative and cumulative revelation. »
-- David McIntosh (source)

Citation sur Ley Lines [en anglais]

« The mode [of Ley Lines] is rather difficult to describe: a self-reflexive, experimental documentary that is part autobiography, part biography, part social history, part natural history, and more. And, as these names imply, it is concerned with the past, or, more precisely, the confluence of pasts that compose various presents. »
