Sounding the Surface

Sounding the Surface

1963 · 12 min · ★ 5.0

This short film on the waters of Switzerland does not show conventional landscapes. Without literary commentary, only by means of image, rhythm and music, it tries, on the contrary, to make the life of an element, water.

Directed by Alexander J. Seiler · Written by Rob Gnant
