From out of a blurry image that slowly comes into focus we hear the sound of a sentence that shifts out of phase electronically until it becomes blurry and disappears, moving inversely to that of the image. The sound is the recording made by musician Steve Reich (the work from 1966) of a Black prisoner speaking. The title COME OUT comes from the phrase that Black man says… As Pablo Marín says, COME OUT is a “programmatic, hermetic and minimal” film.
“The freedom of working with very little money is the freedom from having to sell, it is the freedom of working at home and by hand, without big crews or sets. Nor any time constraints. One shot is taken per day, or one per year. Each one chooses their time and space. For that reason, and for everything else, experimental film is a subversive art, more so than documentary or political cinema. More subversive than intellectual or conceptual cinema. Which is why so few go into it, and even fewer stay”. Narcisa Hirsch
