In the university I had to do only two levels of English: 3 and 4. Level 3 I studied in the Faculty of Arts and the experience was very good, with pedagogical dynamics very similar to those of ICEI, where I did level 4. On both levels, my confidence was mainly worked on when speaking in public. I assumed that I did not know certain things that I did know. For example, holding a conversation was unthinkable for me, but on both levels I realized that I could do it. In relation to blogs, I think it's a very good activity to train writing. I enjoy writing a lot, and I think there is a correct emphasis in this area. I would like to improve my ability to listen and understand what people tell me. Many times I don't understand complete ideas and I'm left with remnants of information. It happens to me especially when someone speaks. One way to improve this aspect would be, perhaps, watching more movies or series in this language. The films that I usually see ...

Happens that my career have a new program studies. But I have the old, because these new program was implanted in 2016, and I entered to the career in 2014. So, I'm going to talk about my program (the new is very good, but if depends of me, I like to change a bit of things). The first is understands how the main subject works. "Workshop" it's around by all the years of the career. It's a practice subject, where you can explore creative things and made short films. The problem is that subject have another two, asociated, linked, and you have no chance if you reprobe one of them: even if you are very good at the others, if you reprobe one, you reprobe all inmediatly, and you have to wait to the next year to take it again. I like too that the programm puts emphasis on experimental cinema. The industrial area is very powerful, but we need some art perspective too. The documentary year is the most free in this way. About the teachers, nothing to say, a...
This time I’m going to write about an experimental and independent filmmaker called James Benning. He’s from United States and has an 40 years career, with more than 50 films. On this post I will comment 3 films of him, the only 3 that I have see. Gain access to see his films is very hard because he’s a very unpopular filmmaker, only known in the experimental cinema circuit. I knew him thanks to an elective class at the University. His personal life is not very important. I’m gonna put the focus on the 3 films that I mentioned. The 3 films have one thing in common: all of are observational. The movies called “13 Lakes”, “Ten Skies” and “L. Cohen”. The first is a 2004 16mm film, placing emphasis on contemplation on all the lakes that appear. We can say that the movie it’s about the introspection that these lakes gives to the viewer. You can see the movie on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAdii2YXZno The second, “Ten Skies” can be watched on YouTube too ( ...
