Burning

2002 Directed by Barbara Sternberg

“Your life is like a candle burning. Whether you are aware of it or not, it is burning.” -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Toronto filmmaker Barbara Sternberg has been making films since the mid-seventies. Sternberg’s film work combines reflections on the medium itself with social issues and universal questions of how we experience reality, how we as humans are situated in the world. Films are themselves experiences, realities. Her films work at the intersection of film and life- questions of vision, perception, motion and temporality. Although her main practice is film, Sternberg has worked in other media including performance, installation and video.
