Self - made by Gillian Wearing.

After i had a presentation of my work to my tutor group in class, i was advised to go and see a feature film by Gillian Wearing, called self- made.Although it is a very strange film, i liked it a lot.

In the film she uses normal people as actors, teaching them an acting method that makes you engage with your inner self, and then, with everyone who did the acting training she did a short film. Where the people who acted could themselves choose who they wanted to play and in what kind of a scenario will be in the short film unless the person did not know.

I thought that this was a deeply psychological film. And slightly voyeuristic as we were watching very intimate moments of the training that were documented and on the other hand, we would also see a slightly more glamorous version of usually same emotion when we saw the short film.

Although i liked it, this film left some strange feeling in me and i still cannot completely get what it is.
