ARFUYEN IN THE DISTANCE
Katharina Bellan
France / 2024 / 43'
Other gems 2024

Between 2014 and 2017, as one would keep a sketchbook or send postcards, painter Jean-Pierre Bellan filmed the flowers of his garden on his iPad, in short vignettes commented off-screen and sent to his loved ones. After his passing, his daughter edits them together, as one would a wreath or a bouquet. In counterpoint, she films her children on film stock during their own daily discipline: music, which irrigates the soundtrack even when it is not seen on-screen. Off-screen, reminiscences draw an absentee portrait of the departed, and of his daily practice of poetic description as a way of caring for the world.
