21° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL
Eclipse of Cinema. All Film by Alexander Sokurov

Viaggio nel silenzio del tempo

Journey in the Silence of Time

Country: Italy
Year: 2003
Duration: 75'


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.
