Mark Cousins, Mania Akbari
Iran, Great Britain
2015 | 1:20:00
An epistolary feature film: a cinematic discourse between a British
director, (Mark Cousins, the celebrated film maker and historian) and
an Iranian actress and director (Mania Akbari, famed for her work with
Abbas Kiarostami and in her own right as a director) which extends the
concept of "essay film" with startling confrontations in the arenas of
cultural issues, gender politics and differing artistic sensibilities.
A unique journey into the minds of two exceptional filmmakers which
becomes a love affair on film.

We are in a timeless scenario where a dry damof crackled soil represents a disintegrated city. We are in a timeless 2015, in a scenario where a dry dam of crackled soil represents the city of São Paulo. An only couple, Mariana and Renan, indwells this desert, the disintegrated city. In recognizing themselves in that context, both start to investigate the causes of the drought. Mariana writes a text to which Renan gives voice. They communicate in silence, while the voice-over poem weaves primordial images that alternate between the serene intimacy of the inside of the house and the arid hostility of the outer space. Little by little, their consciousness awaken to the lack that causes the lack of water: the lack of betweens, the disconnection of all bodies, the spiritual body and the material body, the body of one and the body of the other, the human body and the Earth body. The lack of water, substance of life, would also be the lack of the oceanic feeling of being part of a whole. As they start to see themselves in the problem and as the problem, the borders between dry and wet, life and death, spirit and matter, voice and text, begin to dissolve in the dust. |
