27° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL
WAVES

TRIANGULUM

TRIANGULUM
by Melissa Dullius, Gustavo Jahn
Country: Germany, Egypt, Brazil
Year: 2008
Duration: 22'


TRIANGULUM
Two boys and a girl leave the West in search of interior harmony.
Each one is given a signal, the only element they can base their
pilgrimage on. Their voyage, without a precise destination or direction,
will take them to various oriental cities, at the whim of destiny.


“The shooting of a scene took place like a secret performance; the crew
filmed and then disappeared again, before the city had noticed how it
was being manipulated, re-elaborated. If there had been any hesitation
in the crew, the staging could not have taken place. To find the
cinematographic representation of this tension – between cultures,
between people, between the two sides defined by a camera – is the
challenge proposed in Triangulum.”
