The Return of Curonian Pilot
[Testo disponibile solo in inglese] Visual research of mythological landscape of the Curonian Spit. It is performed in a form of live-cinema, where different times, documental and staged materials, history and myth unite into one multidimensional layer of the projected image.
The film is based on a spiritual séance held by international group of artists as well as on dreams and stories collected in Nida and cultural landscape of the spit (Thomas Mann, Sartre, closed flight school, etc.).
Video streams are mixed in order and combinations related to scores and defined by twisting draidel. As well there is a audio player reproducing the song performed in traditional Lithuanian manner based on a poem “To the star brother” by Russian anarcho-biocosmist A. Yaroslavskiy.
Duration is variable and equals to one bottle of wine to be drank by performer of the video.
As there are five different languages spoken in the movie and order of scenes is not determined in advance, instead of subtitles there is an special libretto given.
