Corridors of Echoes (Experimental Japanese Ghost Film)

Experimental non-narrative film shot in 16mm in Kyoto, Japan. This is a final screening version with added score by Aldo Perez. The double-layered ghost images were done with an appearance by Stephanye Dussud, a New York-based actress. Initially this project was inspired from visions of walking in and out of old Buddhist temple corridors, as if lost in the labyrinth of day dream, also as a homage to 1950's and '60's Japanese films with ghost images, but as the editing went on, it took on additional meaning.

DÉRAPAGE is a unique event of audiovisual exploration that annually invites people from all disciplines to create a non-narrative sonorized audiovisual short piece of less than three minutes. Your videos can be in realtime, in animation, working with textures; shot in red, blue or green; in black and white or in color; hysterical or contemplative; name it! they'll find their place in Dérapage. So, now is time to submit your non narrative artworks for the grand screening evening of Dérapage 12.
