Through and Through

The film is silent except for four short segments of sync sound, interviews with a man and a woman, which touch on two areas: control and anger, and the pressure of history on one's identity -- how do I identify myself as 'I', how as part of a 'We'? The film is visual, perceptual; it was made in awe of the world that goes on with and without us and of our personal, human struggles. It is a film about life and death; a film of discrete units of the eternal and a film of living here and now. It was built up frame-by-frame. A film about power, played in insignificant terms, in the daily, barely notice gestures, scenes, frames.
