High Noon (2014)

2014 | JapanBasma Alsharif★★★★

Basma Alsharif's High Noon is a mesmerising experimental short film, composed of several dynamically shot landscape scenes looped together, overlaid over each other, and played back with varying levels of speed, direction, and opacity.

"High Noon is the meeting between the Southern Californian landscape with that of the South-Eastern landscape of Onomichi Japan as an experience of the gravitational pull towards the center of the earth, with the knowledge that we are sometimes standing on the world upside down. We briefly glimpse each landscape as a dizzying series of loops that seem to repeat themselves endlessly." Vdrome
