AGAINST TIME

Synopsis

A tone-poem in blue and red by US artist and experimental filmmaker Ben Russell, Against Time is a visually staggering kind of cine diary, shot in various locations between 2019 and 2022. Trying to find a way through the fog of recent years, the piece plays with dissolving images, non-linear montage, modular synthesis, and a variety of looping techniques to reflect on how we experience time as a fragmented phenomenon. It results in hypnotic and beautiful experimental cinema that seems to mirror life in all of its interpersonal intricacies.
