Synopsis
Trees, the sea, some megaliths, a steel bridge, a passing female character all filmed in the early and final hours of the day. Silêncio looks at the elemental figures of cinema and the world. It’s a return to a primitive cinema as much as to fundamental elements: water, wind, earth, and the sun. A dialectic about silence consisting of silent images edited in counterpoint with the industrial music of Throbbing Gristle.

Butterfly, by Florence Miailhe
A man swims in the sea. This brings back memories. They are all connected to water, from his early childhood to his adult life. This will be the story of his last swim.
🦋 'Butterfly' won the Crystal Bear Young People's Jury at the Berlinale and was selected for the Official Competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where it received the André Martin Prize.
