We Are Without
SJ. Ramir / Australia, New Zealand / 2020 / World Premiere / 3 min.
synopsis
An unknown entity wanders through a constructed reality to the brink of nothingness - a town in the fog. The film evokes the shadows of a grainy black-and-white dystopian landscape, from which, however, we can see mere fragments, intertwined with shots of the details of male hands. Ramir’s films are characterized by his unique style, achieved through the use of special lens filters.
“We Are Without is a visual response to life, death and self-deception.” S.J. Ramir
