The Walking Philosopher

The Walking Philosopher was made in response to an invitation to produce a short Super‑8 film for the 1999 Splice This! festival. It is composed of a series of location tracking shots throughout various Toronto landmarks and institutions. The monologue reflects ongoing concerns with the mind as an agent of the body, the belief that knowledge is acquired by means of fluid interplay rather than static absorption, and the feeling that intellectuals are in fact very sexy.
