Interzone
Short film directed by Benjamin Poumey
Switzerland, 2014, 6’30
Synopsis
INTERZONE is a part-narrative, part-experimental film.
It might be a dream.
A lone woman enters an ancient palace in ruins overlooking the ocean. Among abandoned arcades and terraces, she engages in enigmatic activities.
Between contemplating the architecture and observing this singular presence, the film establishes a silent dialogue, an enigmatic surveillance.
The physical and mental space becomes an architectural and dreamlike labyrinth, where equations drawn in the sand may hold the key to an enigma to be solved.
