BETWEEN WATER AND ROOF: STORIES OF BLACK, 2024-2025
BETWEEN WATER AND ROOF: STORIES OF BLACK
a cinematic exploration of light, darkness, and transformation
"Between Water and Roof: Stories of Black" is an experimental documentary that combines the power of storytelling, philosophical inquiry, and choreographic expression, the film explores the existential experience of uncertainty, fear, and self-awareness.
Through poetic imagery and narrative interviews, the protagonists share personal thoughts and experiences, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of human consciousness. Water, as a symbol of transformation and fluidity, and the ceiling, as a representation of boundaries, create a dialogue between the inner and outer worlds, darkness and light.
Structured around three thematic "spirals"—darkness, conflict, and reconciliation, the film invites viewers on a profound dive into life's existential questions. Its unique blend of image, sound, and movement delivers a sensory experience that bridges philosophy with art, interviews with choreography, and the abstract with the personal.
"Between Water and Ceiling: Stories of Black" is a poetic and multidimensional exploration of human condition, standing between light and darkness, certainty and uncertainty.
