Seeing the Trees for the Forest (Moyra Monday No. 6): Athens Brief Encounter

The woman making this film is writing on the subway…

It was a brief encounter; she was meeting some of you for the first time.

The day before you left, she turned on the camera without asking.

She is fascinated by you, doesn’t want to be a voyeur, knows she is doing just that, eavesdropping on you and your world.

She started filming…

She feels alive when she is behind a camera, when she’s shooting her own scenes, when she is making something.
