Temps mort

Jasper Rigole | Belgium | 2010 | 20' | | IFFR 2014

The title refers to the last images people shoot after they’ve returned from their holidays, in order to fill the reel and send it to the lab. The term also refers to the empty moments, typical for Antonioni’s films. Rigole’s work is both a meditation on cinema, memory and the elusiveness of intimacy.
