Silêncio

François-Jacques Ossang... Silêncio (2007, 19:45 music: Throbbing Gristle). "...I had the opportunity to go back to Portugal with a 16mm camera nearly 10 years after my previous movie. I don’t like to work with video. And I filmed a little at random, with a particular interest in windmills. I couldn’t quite figure out how to make a movie out of these images. Then I was invited to mix music one evening in an event called 'the Cinema of Poets' at the Cinémathèque with Lydia Lynch, and I put on 'Convincing People' by Throbbing Gristle. And coming back home and thinking about it, I understood that TG’s shamanistic industrial music would fit perfectly."
