Act of God

documentary

Pretty interesting film roughly based on the confluence of man and electricity. Lightening storms, stories of people hit and/or killed by strikes, lots of footage of raging storms culled from Youtube.

All this was juxtaposed with Fred Frith (experimental guitarist) playing some wild improvisations while hooked up to brain monitors which were keeping track of the electrical impulses shooting around his head.

The film had a New York sensibility but managed to avoid being arch or snide. Provocative and well done.
