[Frameworks] Phantom Islands & Inside @ ECRÃ Festival

[Rouzbeh Rashidi]

Two recent feature films from Experimental Film Society (EFS) will screen
as part of the Festival ECRÃ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this July. Phantom
Islands (Rouzbeh Rashidi) and Inside (Vicky Langan/MaximilianLeCain) are in
many ways complimentary films that mirror each other in several aspects.
Both are wordless, delving back into the origins of cinema to conjure
portraits of characters and couples immersed in psychic breakdown within
vividly rendered Irish landscapes. Both present extremely fragmented
narratives that blur inner and outer worlds, and are driven by intensely
atmospheric visuals and soundtracks. And both rely on boldly physical
performances that owe as much to performance art as to screen acting. ECRÃ
Festival is an experimental film festival that arose from the desire to
question the film industry and its “primordial elements” and to give space
for filmmakers to experiment freely in audiovisual production. It takes
place between July 17th and 22nd at the Cinemateca do MAM Rio, Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil.
