Shot in enchanting black-and-white 35mm, Elisa Ribes’ choreography invites the Mediterranean sea to dance with her. Through playful editing and time-lapse photography, forms and rhythms emerge from the landscape as if responding to the invitation. A charming, poetic dance film in which the body becomes one with nature.

The Sound Drifts
Stefano Canapa
Hypnotising audio tracks dance to the soundtrack of Canapa’s previous film Jérôme Noetinger, for which Canapa filmed a solo performance by the French sound artist. As a member of the renowned Cellule d'intervention Metamkine, Noetinger manipulates magnetic tape creating bewitching sounds, now enriched with stroboscopic effects. Cinema for your ears!

Solo in front of the camera, the musician/improviser Jérôme Noetinger plays his reel to reel tape recorder, he manipulates a complex sonic organism through the power of recording and playback – using microphonic captures, electromagnetic static, and random radio.

Further Radical
Stefano Canapa
In A Radical Film, Canapa experimented with thin slices of black radish on unexposed film, a reference to film's roots. Further Radical is the same material taken to its logical extreme on an optical printer. An effective explosion of light goes right through the dark photochemical emulsion.
