Review of This Isn't A Conversation in CINE - FILE, Chicago Guide to Independent and Underground Film:
"Given the state of the world, why would anyone want to be a human being today anyway? That’s the implicit question of Canadian filmmaker Kathryn Mockler’s THIS ISN’T A CONVERSATION (2020, 6 min), which opens the program and introduces the overarching concerns. Over medium-closeups of birds, Mockler presents the text of a sobering conversation between two friends about the ongoing ecological crisis that threatens much life on this planet. The conversation is more emotional than rational, focusing on the speakers’ dread over looming catastrophe and their guilt over having done nothing to stop it. The birds, ignorant of the issues at hand, appear blissful, providing a sense a serenity amidst the all the doomsaying." (Ben Sachs) This Isn't A Conversation Screenings
