Guided by quotes from, among others, Plato and Sappho and a soundtrack, fragments of a great number of (mostly) silent films are shown. These fragments range from the 1890's to the 1940's. There are fragments of soldiers posing with bombs, people swimming, nature, girls with guns, people having sex, two colleagues discussing marriage and much more.—Marco van Hoof <[email protected]>
The editing of many archive films, both fiction shorts, and scientific and historical films, conveys a poetic fictional line, to which also contribute transcript of poem excerpts from classical Greece, arranged in five chapters: Genesis, Paradeisos, Eros, Thanatos, and Symposium. The film ends with the title, «to be continued» conveying the idea that human mythology, and cinema, is a never ending continuum.—Arttemis-9
