Across Lips

Vidéo | hdv | couleur | 11:43 | Russie, Royaume-Uni | 2016

Pairing up jazz improvisation with the vastness of big data, Across Lips attempts to decode what it means to tell a story for a digital age. Framed by the gradual and comprehensive expansion of the Internet Archive, this film questions what it means to truly believe in something.
