WATER 2. INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF FILMS ON ART. OFFICIAL SELECTION
Kandalafts’ third short film, WATER 2, is part of the official selection of the International Film Festival on Art (Le FIFA) and will be screened during La Nuit du Court at Université Concordia on Saturday, March 16, 2024, from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM.
In his film WATER 2, Marc Kandalaft processes his experiences of armed conflicts from the Lebanese Civil war to the 1991 Gulf War in a dense visual narrative. With a subtle blend of neo-pictorialism and surrealism, this film employs a rich palette of visual and auditory sensations, in which water, a key element in Kandalaft’s work, serves as a common thread. Natural elements are used to reflect the ambivalence of the states of existence. Sound composition with echoes of musique concrète and variations in framing and rhythm result in a short film that is both formally and acoustically vivid, hypnotic, and immersive.
