Variations is a collection of 9 short, personal films ostensively documenting each artist's personal reaction to a poem by Michael Snow named, "Poem." I have encountered and liked the work of several of these Canadian artists previously so I bought the DVD. This, in spite of the fact I have a limited regard for Mr. Snow as an artist, and find his "Poem" to be both amateurish and unenlightening. I wasn't disappointed by this nicely produced DVD with a beautiful postcard. The works by Broomer,Browne, and Mazinani were standouts for me, but all were nuanced visuals tied to either silence or new music.
I hope to see more from the producer, Mark Templeton, and these artists.
