Crowds

| IFFR 2015

A three-panel video by Geert Mul and Michel Banabila focuses on mass protest and public uprising, set to a soundscape of chanting, shouting and unified calls. Created as a collaboration, the work explores the dynamics of collective resistance and the energy of public uprising. As the imagery gradually transforms into more abstract color and form, the work shifts from documentation to reflection.
