BA FILM STUDIES
Workshop Shitty Rigs
Workshop led by Michael William Farino, Jonathan Ricardo Argudo and Herbert Mayer and given to students in the Bachelor's degree programmes in Cinema and Industrial Design.
Deep underground, Alexandre follows voices and sounds, which arise from and lead him to a lost woman.
A young woman, Sophie, has disappeared into a cave. Out of despair, her family hires Alexandre : a clairaudient medium who perceives inaudible sounds, to find her. Voices guide him in his search through a maze of stones and, as he listens, echoes from the past invade his mind, throwing him into a trance between dream, memory and reality. This film is intended to be a sensory experience, a hallucination with Alexandre in this sonic turmoil. Sound as dread : faces on the rocks and rumours in the creaks. A ghost train of sound, where in the murmurs of the present hides forgotten echoes; fragments of plaintive songs, snatches of the ocean spitting out drowned melodies to which we never thought we'd dance again.
