"stranding" D, CI, ED: Nina Schipoff , CH 2016

Running time: 4’36”

Greece, the Ionion Sea; abandoned to the mood of the sea, you are drifting towards the shore of the uninhabited island of Zeus. Nina Schipoff's film features beautiful, realistic shots of see depths that make the viewer feel as if they're in the ocean themselves. Without the use of words, “stranding” makes one deeply reflect upon the two worlds – one of water and one of land. How can we establish a border between them?
