Filmed in Berlin, Portugal and Switzerland, “Eastern Avenue” is an experiment in approach for the maker of “Scissere.” In an attempt to explore the nature of intuition, the filmmaker traveled through familiar and foreign landscapes, using impulsive reactions as the motivation for guiding the camera through the different environments. The result is a sensuous, lyrical trip ranging from the ruins and walls of a freak civilization called Berlin, to the former edge of the earth and its endless sea beaches, Portugal. The structure and innate “story” of the film are dictated by the chronology of the experiences and the perceptions that accompanied them.
