Description
Shot intermittently in silent black and white with the mythical Bolex 16mm camera that would become the emblem of American underground cinema, Echoes of Silence finds in the simplicity of its gesture and the extreme economy of its means a rare power of invention, producing unprecedented forms of reverberations and inductions of desire, renewing the figures of connection and absence, short-circuiting direct cinema through amorous drift, at the edge of dreamlike realism and in direct line with surrealist phantasmagorias.
