"ECLIPSE"
by Ivan Friedman,
starring Elena Samuylova
Switzerland 2018
Length: 16mn
“Eclipse”, un poem en images, a visual poem, was filmed using a new and personal approach on the infrared technique, merged with an organic unscripted process five years in the making. The Movie is an aesthetic/symbolic visual essay exploring the idea of Katabasis and redemption.
Log line:
Caught in the limbo of an underworld where time and conventional reality ceases to exist, Elena emerges from the collapse of her captivity upon the event of a lunar eclipse.
Short synopsis:
Elena is prisoner in a dark realm not of this world, where the lines between dreams, memories, and realities blur amongst the non-existence of time. Amidst a lunar eclipse, Elena awakens from her captive slumber and embarks in a metamorphic journey, a surrender to a higher calling. Guided by the spirit of nature, Elena seeks something she does not know, but once knew, as she is guided through her personal purgatory until she reaches a universal paradise.
