Environs

Experimental film | 4k | color | 17:45 | Belgium | 2020

In a deserted landscape where animals are affected by a distant rumble, a character emerges. Sinking deeper into the auditive world, sounds start to vibrate, time slowly loses its function and a storm rises. The character listens carefully as a dark tower seems to absorb his sonorous memories.

Bas Verbruggen (1997, Antwerp) started studying film at the KASK school of arts in Ghent, where he completed his master's degree in september 2020 with the film Environs. He is fascinated by absurd shapes in the everyday (Belgian) landscape, focuses on the experience of sound in cinema and usually makes his films individually and always from an audiovisual investigative point of view.
