(Original Title: »DER KLANG DES MEERES«)
Experimental Film by Wolfgang Lehmann & Telemach Wiesinger
Content:
This film poem about the sea is a visual invitation to an imaginary journey trough the landscape of waves along the Atlantic coast. Or as Herman Melville writes: „Let a distracted person sink into deep dreams... and, invariably they will lead you to water... yes, everyone knows that meditation and water rare closely connected!“ The sources of inspiration for our film flow of film pictures were the „soul images“ described by Melville in MOBY DICK.
