Sogobi (2002),
James Benning · 90m · 16mm

Subtle camera movements return in this final installment of Benning’s static shot California Trilogy. With a shoe-string budget, Benning turns towards the wilderness (“sogobi”), doing his best to isolate himself outside of human beings, centers, and effects – though a fire helicopter does sneak in “kind of like God, dipping down.” If Time Out is to be trusted, this film is “for completionists only.”
