Film - Tectonic Plate

The 2016 Edinburgh International Film Festival kicks off on 15th June so this week we've picked a few clips and trailers from the films at the festival. Today is the experimental Tectonic Plate...

In a bold and original approach to memory, this Lettrist-inspired film maps an anxiety-ridden plane journey from Tokyo to Helsinki without the aid of photographic images. A variety of interventions on the film strip are combined with an atmospheric sound design to create a subjective story of displacement and containment. In an age when experience is increasingly mediated through digital technologies, Taanila seeks out an alternative language in the sensuous surfaces of the celluloid material.
