Wald

Film expérimental | 16mm | couleur | 6:22 | Allemagne | 2017

Over the course of a year, WALD (2017) returns to a forest glade. The film witnesses the vegetation changing in different seasons. A house can be seen dimly in the distance. A panorama pan scans the space. The view upwards, at eye level and to the ground - 360° - 3 perspectives. The pan is shot with a 16mm Bolex by hand. The camera itself becomes the main actor of the film, which is underlined by the way it is shot but also by the montage of the film. Original sound accompanies the images, but is interrupted by the adhān of a muezzin, the rustling of leaves, the buzzing of bees - these strong sound elements appear and disappear at the same moment.
