Synopsis :

Appropriating a brief fragment from a 35mm print of an old Kung Fu movie, NEVER A FOOT TOO FAR, EVEN is an action movie without action. Presented in double-projection, with images from two separate rolls overlaid to form a single image, this film focuses on an obscure figure finding himself in a forest path, caught between perpetual motion and stasis. The painterly images fluctuate in the complex shifting of colour and texture, phasing in and out through a polymetric structure. It is a perceptual journey without destination in the turning sphere of ever-changing image and sound, whose beginning and end move in parallel towards a fleeting point of convergence. The palindrome of the title alludes to the structural principle of the film, which is based on various combinations of a series of recurring sequences that move forward and in reverse simultaneously, defying the usual linear progression that is a characteristic feature of film work. With original sound composition by Malcolm Goldstein.

Magie de la pellicule (10 films)

Daïchi Saïto, Marie Losier, Charlotte Pryce, John Price, Robert Todd, Siegfried Fruhauf, Ben Rivers... Nothing more to say except that this lineup is a gift (from the cinema gods). No nostalgia, just a celebration of the power of film.
