When asked
to survey my relationship with screens, I was not expecting for a clear deliberation,
but received on later in the week. This past Thursday, I watched the new film, Nine
Days. It just came off of a Sundance premiere, so I was very excited to
dive in. It is about a reclusive man that conducts a series of interviews with
human souls for a chance to be born. After he has chosen the souls to be born,
he gets to watch all of their lives unfold through their POV on numerous amounts
of TV’s that all run at the same time. It’s a really interesting and thought-provoking
film about the surveillance and survey of life through the mediation of
television, very fitting for the dense questions we are going to deconstruct this
week.
