A Play in Water

Direction
Year 
1992
Country
  • Taiwan
Duration
11min 

Reflections on the surface spill over into reflections of events and everyday life in the city, where the constant movement in busy streets and crowded marketplaces is interwoven with lyrical and abstract moments arising primarily from natural light compositions, complemented by collages of chaotic noise. Through juxtaposing languages with words, images, and sounds, A Play in Water depicts the conflicts between the internal world and external culture in prose poetry form. It can be considered as a personal diary written by a 16mm Bolex camera in memory of the beautiful life in Chicago.

This film is not currently online :(

But no worries. There are more just like it in our new programme.
