Angel Olsen – Tiniest Seed

http://vimeo.com/55315704#

A transatlantic epistolary exchange between four friends.

A song transformed into a film score and mailed across the Atlantic Ocean.
The score interpreted using a single roll of tri-x 16mm film. The film exposed, rewound and re-exposed many times, developed and sent back across the Atlantic. A response was filmed and the two spliced together.

Time passing. The feeling of time. Collapsing space. Collapsing time. Collapsing time and space.

*16mm print available and recommended for screening purposes. This is the digital version.

“Tiniest Seed” is available on Angel Olsen’s LP “Half Way Home” from Bathetic Records (batheticrecords.com/half_way_home/)
