'
the audiences were blown away, this was true experimenta
film, in its most exciting form..' Berlin Film Review Magazine 2001.
An experimental film shot on 16mm, Rhythm explores the human body in
movement.
Three bodies in motion are taken as subjects: those of a boxer, a
dancer and a drummer, all with their distinctive forms of energy release.
With a melodic percussion serving as the initial driving force, the
pace steadily rises to a crescendo with the three bodies finally merging
to become a single blended movement.
Rhythm poetically explores movement and rhythm through distinctive lighting
and fast editing, showing how different motions of the body originate
from a common centre point.
