Ouverture
 
35mm Cinemascope / silent / 5:00






  
 





“[Ouverture] does more than observe a shape, it creates a shape, a surrounding sphere, a refuge.”

- Mark McElhatten, Views from the Avant-Garde (New York Film Festival)



"Camera improvisation in Cinemascope transforms the meagre light in an old Normandy shed into an abstract kinetic light show.

Sunlight enters an old shed in Normandy through cracks and chinks. The camera greedily absorbs the light, does not show what is going on outside but looks inwards instead. The shed's few square metres turn into a sacred space."

- International FIlm Festival Rotterdam
