ODYSSEY

by Sabine GROENEWEGEN
2018 / HD / color-b&w / sound / 1S / 71' 00

Two intelligences analyze an assemblage of signals about an infected planet, when a resistant matter disrupts the flux. Defying genres, the award winning found footage debut film Odyssey interrogates colonial logic transferred across generations and our unceasing potential to resist it.

“Complex and rewarding. Pointing to cinema’s potential to render strange the act of seeing and to the fragility of truth as a highly mediated, constantly renegotiated construct.”
— Film Comment Magazine

"It is through a poetic way that what is found behind these images can find a place into the visible from which it has been excluded."
— Debordements Magazine

"Outstanding, innovative, ambitious and formally rigorous."
—Jury Doc Alliance Selection Award

​"The winner of the section is Odyssey for the amazing re-orchestration of the archival sources, the original cinematic dispositif for narration, the cleverness of a critical/political analysis of the images, shifting from the past to the present and future."
— Paolo Simoni / Head of Jury Istanbul Experimental Film Festival
