#43

Joost Rekveld | Netherlands | 2013 | 11' |

| IFFR 2014

#43 works on a sub-atomic level – in the realm of systems of pixels that burst into motion because of their difference from their ‘neighbours’. It is a very specific class of complexity we observe in Rekveld’s film, and a beautiful metaphor for life.
