Pedro Geraldo

Film

K.A is a Vietnamese filmmaker currently working in France. In the film laboratory she is developing part of a 16mm film she shot in a pagoda – a Buddhist temple – in Roubaix, a city in northern France.
Accompanying her in this development process is J., a Belgian-Swiss filmmaker, and D., a non-binary student. As most of the work is done in the dark, the three of them engage in a dialogue to support each another during this moment of non-vision. Their conversation touches on notions of darkness, out-of-body experience and the memory of the images created by K.A.
As their exchanges unfold, the laboratory space is gradually revealed to be a living entity, where other images and sounds coexist.
