End Beginning

Written and Directed by Pete Gomes

Man: Alyn Gwndaf

Hovering between consciousness and dreaming, a man ponders his thoughts, memories and perceptions of reality,in the last minutes before death.

A film concieved in parallel with Artificial Sentience an earlier film in which a computer speaks a monlogue about exisitence and death.

Orginally intended to be shot entirely on celluloid, in contast to thecomputer production and aesthetic of Artificial Sentience, this was finally made on DV and computer.

A Man [Alwyn Gwndaf] speaks a riddle like monologue that makes sense and enlightens but alludes fixed meanings.

A narrative stemming from my interest in cybernetic cinema, artificial life and the films of the Whitney Brothers.
