Regen

With his world-famous short poetical film Rain (1929), the internationally renowned filmmaker Joris Ivens managed to elevate a simple, everyday phenomenon like rain in Amsterdam to an art form. Almost a century later, Chris Teerink presents a tribute to this cinema classic. By using analogous black-and-white photographs instead of digital video, he literally stops time. This revives the atmosphere of Ivens’ film, in a kind of cinematographic dialogue with the past.
