For Now

Herman Asselberghs

The central two movements in ‘For Now’ are panoramic shots and firm, vertical edits. The film unfolds in waves. Locations appear, disappear, and come round again – Lewinsky Park, Maximilian Park, Habima Square, Lion Square, Zuccotti Park, Times Square or pastoral landscapes at opposite ends of the Mediterranean Sea. The actions are the same: people wait, pass by, kill time. No refugees in the picture here, no demonstrators or soldiers, no spectacle. It is a film running alongside events, alongside time. A contemporary film in the pure sense of the word - a way of being with time.
