Sleep Has Her House Scott Barley, 2017

The shadows of screams climb beyond the hills. It has happened before. But this will be the last time. The last few sense it, withdrawing deep into the forest. They cry out into the black, as the shadows pass away, into the ground. Through long static takes, the film develops a contemplative, hypnotic experience, akin to paintings that move, mixing live action and still photography (shot on iPhone 6) and handdrawn images. The film is dedicated to the late French filmmaker and friend, Philippe Cote, who passed way in 2016. Scott Barley
