Synopsis:
A man - alone - thinks about colonialism, genocide and ecocide within the immemorial darkness of humanity, and tries to find a reminiscent truth by means of images and sounds
Directors: Gustave de Pavant
Gustave de Pavant is a filmmaker and artist with a background in Fine Arts, known for his experimental short films that explore themes of history, memory, suffering, and consolation. His works, including Soudain (Suddenly), Occulus Imaginationis, and Terminus hier (Terminus Yesterday), blend visual and sonic elements to address metaphysical questions through a phenomenological lens inspired by Merleau-Ponty. Gustave’s aesthetic creates a tension between intimacy and elusiveness, inviting contemplation while challenging viewers with philosophical and aesthetic meditations.
