21° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL
Eclipse of Cinema. All Film by Alexander Sokurov
Viaggio nel silenzio del tempo
This
video is a collection of memories from a voyage with Sokurov and a conversation
which took place at Bologna's film library in 1999. The film was edited using
the integrity of the words as the basic element, stretching them out and
superimposing images on them. It is a work that is a memory, not a faithful
documentation. There is a time lapse between the registration and its
elaboration. The images of the trip are linking elements throughout the video,
covering the empty spaces, creating the guidelines and the junctures.
