DocumentaMadrid
XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
"Cinema is what happens between frames," said German experimental filmmaker Werner Nekes. A woman and a man are on the ground together but it looks as though they are floating without moving. Silence overruns the scene; she stops and walks away. La Noche Bengalí is a documentary made as part of the seminar that Wernes Nekes held in Buenos Aires in 1980, sponsored by the Goethe Institute.
Biografía del director
Narcisa Hirsch
“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
