Slow motion is the silence of speed.

Jean-Luc Godard

In April, LaCinetek explores the time of movement!
It took time to fix the film at 24 frames per second and reproduce as closely as possible the natural fluidity of movement. Playing with the speed of film means shattering this initial illusion and working on the very material of cinema, to experiment with all its formal possibilities. By revealing what would not be visible at its nominal speed, the use of slow motion or speeding up gives us a new way of seeing bodies, their movements, the energy and emotions that run through them.
