The Gift 16 years old

An experimental narrative commissioned for the 60th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival, this film features an anthropologist and her blind uncle sitting in a moving theater and viewing images unfolding on a screen. A reflection on the overwhelming sea of wondrous and fascinating images towards which we have to gauge, dose, and measure our sense of fascination and detachment, of distance and proximity.
