    Echoes Course
    Production: Poland 2014

    A contemplative documentary and part of the Commonheavens project, which – in the authors' words – talks “about life in the inlands, about being there, silence and the place without name”. The film opens with a foggy shot, from which a quote emerges. The shot changes: the next one is crisp, colourful. It disappears in the emptiness, and another appears. It is a world beyond time. This filmic meditation closes and opens with the quote: “For whom emptiness is possible, for those everything is possible. For whom emptiness is not possible, for those everything is not possible.”
