Under Twilight

2006 · 5 min

A brief, austere montage that drifts by like a half-remembered dream, asking quiet questions it never answers.

Directed by: Jean-Gabriel Périot

Overview: “I make films because I don’t know. I seek. I try to see things more clearly, pushing myself to at least know how to express questions. It’s a way for me to open a place for thought.” - Jean-Gabriel Périot
