K's GAZE - Moving in the air

In 1909, Franz Kafka sees for the first time an aeroplane. The observation of the passion for flying, matches the detailed description of those who come to see and to be seen. More than 110 years later, some things have not changed. The film observes the clouds moved by the wind, the birds flying over the open landscape. Kafka builds his images with words, like the voices in silent movies are sought in music. Watching the film with subtitles on, describes the moment caught by the writer's gaze. SUBTITLES ARE NECESSARY FOR THE EXPERIENCE OF THE FILM. THEY ARE AVAILABLE (cc button) IN FRENCH AND IN ENGLISH.

Director Biography - Ron Kenley

Ron Kenley
Trained as an architect with a long career in teaching, he has been making multi-media works and videos since 1998. A collaboration with the philosopher Jean Attali for Le Fresnoy, Studio d'Art Contemporain, resulted in a number of visual works as film analysis (2001-2003). Over the years, he developed the capacity for handling all the aspects of filmmaking more or less single-handed. This resulted in a diverse and independent work of various lengths and subjects.

Director Statement

Whether documentary or fictional, my films are always an exploration of the space of the images that make them up, of the soul of the characters that inhabit them.
Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.”
