Behind This Soft Eclipse
Eve Heller US, 2024, 10', 16 mm
A collaboration of parallel worlds or doubled consciousness, a sense of corporeal being and the riddle of its absence. The body of the film depends on a spine of interlocking contrasts in the form of negative and positive space, day and night shots, under and above water elements. These are cut on motion and qualities of light that are sometimes gentle and sometimes jarring, to convey the tender labor of hosting a balance.
A crossing of paths behind the seen, in the wake of one who no longer walks the curve of the world. Behind This Soft Eclipse is an elegy for Marion McMahon who co-founded the Film Farm (Independent Imaging Retreat) in Southern Ontario, where it was produced.
