Short film

Strokkur

2011 · 7 min

A quiet, patient gaze at steam and ice, asking you to listen as closely as you look.

Directed by: João Salaviza
Genres: Documentary
Starring: Norberto Lobo

Overview: In the beginning the idea was to make something from nothing, in a neutral and unknown place. Collect images and sounds instead of producing them. The camera, the microphone and the mini-amplifier: tools that take away and then give back. We defined a rule: the sound shouldn't illustrate the image and the image shouldn't absorb the sound. Less than a hundred kilometres from Reykjavik we found Strokkur. For three days we saw and heard the internal dynamics of the crevice: the boiling water that spat out every seven minutes and the thermal shock, given the eighteen degrees below zero of the atmosphere.
