This is an adaptation of several of Daniil Harm's short ideas. I was just curious what they would look like if I made a movie out of them. It was made for the 2005 KTXT film festival at texas tech in lubbock, TX.

  • hi John!!!

    Great stuff! Best adaptation of Daniil Harms ever!!An excellent blend of Dziga Vertov and early Jim Jarmush!Your other videos are also quite funny!Your singing is fine-Postal Service`s song adatation is so casual and relaxing,but Harms videos are fully in spirit of how I imagined his work from my early childhood in the eighties living in ex-Yugoslavia.

    Pls continue with your work and make more adaptation of Harms's stories!!!

  • Wow, thanks for your comment. I worry a lot about appropriating other folks' texts; I'm far removed from Harms' circumstances, so I think I miss even really obvious facts and references in his writing.

  • This is why your adaptations of Kharms are so good-there is humilty in your brave approach to Kharms's work and your great respect for the singular and contextual circumstances of this early 20th century russian writer makes your subjective appropiation of his world a kind of empathic subjectivity,shared sensitivity,universal affect.

    You are on the right track in these videos and your respect for the particular could be universally understood.
