LA RÉGION CENTRALE, 1971

Canada | 16mm, Color, 180’ | No Dialogue

The director installs a machine that can rotate automatically in all directions along with a camera attached to it on top of a mountain in Quebec. For five days, one machine records the landscape, which is devoid of human beings, with the movements directed by another machine. The resulting three-hour film is considerably detached from human vision, movement, and temporality. La Région Centrale shows the known world to the viewer through unfocused, non-human eyes and an unattended temporality that is unable to withstand patience.
