Dies Irae

2005 · 11 min

A hushed, hypnotic drift through still images that feels like memory itself, tender and aching and quietly vast.

Directed by
Jean-Gabriel Périot
Overview
A beautiful, elegiac cycle expressing the boundless hope and infinite nostalgia of the voyage, consisting entirely of still images and painstakingly assembled into a emotionally moving pictorial essay. Periot: 'Remember that I am the cause of your journey. Don't lose me along the way.'
