BLEARED EYES OF BLUE GLASS

With the presence of the director and the selector Raffaele Meale

The “bleared eyes of blue glass” in the title of this experimental short expand on a verbal image from Virginia Woolf’s novel The Waves, considered the most experimental among the 20th-century British writer’s literary works, from which the young filmmaker took inspiration for his film, borrowing passages and visions to explain his own understanding of what cinema is. A film that plays with water – precisely – and light, and yetin a very dark b&w lit up by rare flashes of colour, making a journey in the night in which the shadow of a man gradually acquires substance. Bleared Eyes of Blue Glass was shot in a house, forest, and stream in Incheon, close to the South-Korean capital, where the filmmaker currently lives.
