Searching in silence for the remnants of a fleeting dream. This music of shapes congeals and retracts, mingles and refracts. The volume of silence is astonishing, the stillness questioning. The Earth has as much to tell us about the sky as the stars. Columns of parallel existence invisible until burst open, exploding particles in every direction. Watching carefully means letting go. Water, Earth and Sun are not so different, and each requires the other.
Ultra Dogme presents seven films that comprehend the turning of the sun and earth through that instrument of time, sound, vision and nature we call cinema.
These films take on a wide range of shapes and perspectives. There is the quotidian and yet transcendental act of beholding the play of light; its entanglement with time as manifested in the sky's shifting pigmentation, its melding with water in a bubbling cauldron of appearances, and how it becomes prismatic, immense and immediate through the boundless conduit of music.
These films, overtly or implicitly, expose the métier of their perception, and the meeting point and disjuncture between their consciousness and the universe. The pulse of the earth's heartbeat and human touch are mediated with a mechanical device. Sunlight cradled within the intimate space of the Super 8 image, a cosmic dream arranged for the 16mm strip, and a moment of existentialism rendered through the uncanniness of an appropriated digital realm.
Although each of the films diverge and exist on their own terms, put together they form a collective embodiment of our indivisibility with everything around us.
