Return to Providence

Howard Phillips Lovecraft sometimes wrote his tales in a state of
trance, or unconsciousness. Based on mysterious audio tapes found in
his belongings, Return to Providence brings in broad daylight the
duplicity of this man from another time. We find him lost in the midst
of his dreams, between the fear of ancient gods lost at the borders of
the sea and the peace of his childhood home in Providence, place of
wisdom and golden dreams.

The Diary of Theodore Kracklite |
Le Journal de Théodore Kracklit / El Viaje de Kracklitel |
|
Jacques Lœuille

2016 / 0:15:00
It's about an archaeological expedition from the twenties, on the
tracks of Elephas Falconeri, a dwarf elephant, a real creature which
existed and which borders on the edge of the legendary Cyclops, and,
of which Theodore Kracklite found fossilised skulls in undersea
caverns in Sicily. The Diary of Theodore Kracklite, revisiting a
well-known myth from the Iliad, is a metaphor of the present-day
ecological crisis (the rise in water levels from which the creature
benefitted) and a reminder of the massive extinction of species.

Under the lake, the earth draws the ways you can take. In the depth
of the sleeping waters, a roar sounds, probably a comming revolt.

Elijah wanders in the gusty winds among the horizons of a seemingly
endless plateau. A huge fire tears the night sky apart. In another
world, a widow and her sick daughter try to survive lost amidst an
abandoned industrial area.

Ill will make her speak and think out loud to us. This is a wander of
a lonely wondering woman. Candice's eyes and the surrounded landscapes
make one mind. A wonan nearby the black sand beach and a black little
basalt stone is her compagnon. The undolations of time within
straight black and grey lines as clockwise of her existence.
