Waking Moment

Short Film

An experimental short film exploring fleeting moments of stillness; decisive moments of clarity that vanish almost immediately. Like objects left in darkness picking up a faint sheen of reflected light from time to time.

Inspired by excerpt: “I need only pause before it and I forget the passage of time.” (In Praise of Shadows—Jun'ichirō Tanizaki,1933)

Frames include both digital video and 35mm film, collaged and scanned. Sound includes found audio and edited instrumental from Sour Times—Portishead.
