BLAME THE SILENCE FOR MY VANISHING (2018)

ACCUSE LE SILENCE DE MA FUITE / BLAME THE SILENCE FOR MY VANISHING (2018)

Accuse le silence de ma fuite/Blame the silence for my vanishing (2018) is an art house short film, highlighting the lives of four characters facing the difficulties of communication, through language, photography, and emotion. Communication is one of the basic needs of humanity’s survival, yet one is not always successful in this area. The difficulty of communication appears when one possesses one’s own reality as the only reality and is not able to open doors within oneself for other worlds. The collapse of one’s own constructive world concatenates with other aspects of communication: “to let it go”, “to hold on” or “to destroy oneself.”
The film exposes how each character comprehends the unknown sounds of their heart which life prepared for them.
