Welcome!

We are seven TV & Media Production students from IT Carlow and as part of our coursework we were assigned to come up with a blog.
And so 'Ctrl Alt Cinema' was born. We plan on bringing you reviews and opinions on the films which you may have missed!
So, with out much further ado..

BARAKA

BARAKA 1992 Directed by Ron Fricke. Baraka is an ancient sufi word which can be translated as a blessing. Baraka is not conventional movie as it has no structure. It is but a masterpiece of modern day photography. The film was filmed in 152 locations in 24 different countries. The film has no dialogue, no story or plot but instead uses themes to present new perspectives and evoke emotion purely through cinema. Fricke writes about his work "Both technically and philosophically I am ready to delve even deeper into my favorite theme: humanity's relationship to the eternal".
