Three Films by Mark R. Turner

“A Prayer for Beauty”, “To the Diggers” and “Comforting Hovers” are contained on this DVD complete with all the bonus materials for each film. These films are prototypes of a genre Mark Turner is developing: a hybrid of visual arts, poetry, music, sound effects, the spoken word and motion graphics. Mark considers the art form complete when the audience finally talks about it, for in those conversations it mixes infinitely into real lives. To help in this bonus materials of the poem texts, stills of the artwork and conversation points for each stanza are arranged in menus linked to the appropriate sequences in the film. Watch for the Film Gallery Cafe where the films and art are encountered together in person. Three films for the price of two is an especially good investment for a group at $30.
