TITLE: Taste of Water
YEAR OF PRODUCTION: 2012 COUNTRY OF PRODUCTION: Bulgaria, UK RUN TIME: 22min 30sec ASPECT RATIO: 4:3 SOURCE FORMAT: 16mm COLOUR: Colour SOUND: Stereo Student film The film is a cinematic contemplation, an allegory that aims to portray life itself. A small boy carries a candle in the streets of an old town. A young man climbs a mountain peak. An old man brings water from a forest brook. What unites them is the idea of fundamental human duty buried under what appears to be a futile task. Is life a circle, a river that flows back to its source? Is every man a doomed Sisyphus? Or is it through his struggle that the meaning of man's path spreads beyond the purpose of his journey? |
