Exposition is the process of arriving in a movie, arriving at the characters’ vantage point, arriving in their space.
I shot this short film with Mira and Matina in August 2015, and I really like it for its exposition through insignificance.
The film starts with unimportant movements, movements that carry no meaning, and since there’s no significance to be ‘understood’, the viewers search for meaning continues. It plays with the relationship of the protagonists without explaining, and in the end, when we arrived, when we are ready, when we are invested in the characters, it just ends.
