The Television

Synopsis

A man lives alone with a television that shows him paintings instead of programmes. As the days repeat — the alarm, the walk, the empty park — the screen becomes the only place where anything still moves him.

Director's Statement

I wanted to film loneliness without dialogue. The television is not a villain; it is a mirror. What we choose to watch tells us exactly what we are missing.

Creative Vision

Teal walls, tungsten lamps, static frames held a beat too long. Everything was shot practically, on location, with a small crew — the restraint is the style.
