To film a line which it does not exist.
A line laid on the ground and effaced by time, a line that only a glass eye could perceive.
A certain answer was nowhere to be found: the line kept on moving and vanishing.
The glass eye would get lost and miss the point.
On a mountain path, everything is a border.
The wind precedes the flag
A journey along the Italo-French alpine border, in an attempt to film a line that does not exist. MAKHNO was chasing that blank space, as if driven by a desire for purity.
He felt an overwhelming need to cross a point of separation, to walk on foreign soil. Thus, by forgetting about the line, he managed to reach that place devoid of elements, signs, or information.
A short film created as part of the Alcotra BORDERSCAPES project, produced by the Fondazione Dravelli in Moncalieri (TO) and Airelles Vidéo (Marseille).
