Private Project

The Flash

Malcom and Venetia are Irish, Mariia Iranian,Olga Georgian, Antony German, Shashi Russian, the crowd Sicilian, all others can’t really be located.

Malcom's search for events, places, sounds, chats, is the core of this photoplay. Not really easy though. Sometimes his flash helps. Yet photographs often puzzle him over, turn into questions.

Memories, nostalgia, hankering, lust aren’t tried-and-true. We try to follow them in our story, filmed mainly in James Joyce's Sandymount Strand and many other places all over, to detect the dim boxes in our characters’ thirst.

Malcom and Venetia are Irish, Mariia Iranian,Olga Georgian, Antony German, Shashi Russian, the crowd Sicilian, all others can’t really be located.

Malcom's search for events, places, sounds, conversation, is the core of this photoplay. Not really easy though. Sometimes his flash helps.

Memories, nostalgia, hankering, lust aren’t tried-and-true. We try to follow them in our story, filmed mainly in James Joyce's Sandymount Strand and many other places all over, to envisage the dim boxes in our chracters’ thirst.
