Watch Party - Watch the Speechless programme along with other festival goers and get involved in the live chat!
Since the early days of cinema, stories have been told using a mixture of visuals and music cues; captivating audiences with quick glances shared between characters, intimate close-ups and slapstick comedy routines. This programme can be enjoyed in any language, and proves that you don’t need dialogue to tell an amazing story. Break free from the boundaries of language and escape into the world of pure visual storytelling. Sit back, relax, and let these speechless films take you on an adventure of a lifetime; immersing yourself in a diverse selection of tales about friendship, familial dramas, and perseverance.
The film is about a high diver who is about to make a jump from a 10-meter diving platform. It isn’t as much about the jump itself but rather the character’s journey to be able to make the jump. With this film I wanted to highlight the beauty and dynamic movements within sport by animating them extensively on a piece of music I made myself.
