TESTCARD - ANGELS

This was filmed in Paris, in Pere La Chaise on super 8, part of the soundtrack has recordings using the voice phenomenon technique. The film explores the human duality traps of light / dark , good / evil - each shot is matched with an empty shot symbolising the interleaving dreams within life and death. Is the viewer the angel ? seen only by the cemeterys only living residents, the wild cats... This was inspired by a bus journey i took once where i could only see people and not hear them, for a moment i became unusually separated from the meanings of , peoples journeys, interactions, facial movements, emotions. Just a series of scenes- my only reaction was to watch as if invisible in fascination. The thought struck me that maybe this is what the angels of our understanding might experience , passing through this world, puzzled at the motions which through distance, lose their meaning
