- Empty Diagonal27'50"
Production: FR 2015
A film about searching suburban landscapes. About drifting along an empty diagonal and its urban areas at the end of a hot summer. A few chance encounters. Warehouses, roundabouts, coloured logos. An exploration into the “frozen waters” of everyday life. Guillaume Ballandras’ film is an interesting combination of documentary and experimental cinema. It also features comedic elements that evoke an involuntary smile, as well as associations with avant-garde and surrealism.
