Rites of Resistance - a way through.... is a contemplative film based on a collection of poems triggered by the seemingly simple obligation of the artist to create - an idea explored in Samuel Beckett’s writing 'Textes pour rien', which accompanied the director while developing this film. Image after image, word after word, this obligation manifests itself. The film is a relentless flow of words (thinking, speaking, script) and the simultaneous perception of things seen and unseen in the world (intuition, colour, texture, body). Through a typographic approach, poetic compositions emerge with word as image, word as sound, word as texture. Image, sound, texture are living a quiet life of meaning.
