…in which Lanny will project and talk on/over an even-ing of others’ movies: tales that truly tackle talking, tactfully.

From a cerebral voiced-over meditation on a ruin (accompanied by live voiced-over translation), to a comic assault on pedagogy in an adaptation of a children’s book, to a compulsively repetitive short film, where speech and its refusal become music… and finally to a most burlesque feature presentation, packed with improvised dialogue, stuttering, and a climactic recitation of Poe.

How I will burst with laughter
When all is thoroughly confused!
When even rocks stand not secure
And when the rooftops shatter,
Then I will burst with laughter!

(Total running time of films, approx. 140 min.)
