1001 nights review

The video, 1001 nights is about 6 woman who are taking it turns to tell a story, the premise of this short film is about war and fear. The film was made in 1998 and is 6 minutes long.
The storyline of the film is intresting because all 6 of these woman are telling accounts of what happend to them and how they felt during some kind of war, it is almost as if they are speaking on behalf of someone else or as if they are reading form somewhere. they take it in turns to tell their part of the story, each with their eyes closed, until it the the next persons turn to speak. the woman are all in a row, all we can see are the head and shoulders and the black background. the sounds are digetic as there are no other sounds other then the woman speaking. when we watch the video we take into account their fear and how they felt, the noises they hear and the things they saw, listening to what they were saying made me imagine what was hapening, you could almost feel the fear for them, what we couldnt work out though was if it was a true story or account of someones or if it was a dream, this is what makes the film interesting to me.
