RED ROOM
Inspired by Wim Wender’s ‘Etat Des Choses’ (the state of things), and stemming directly from visual artist Kurt D’Hasseleer’s work on K.O.D., Red Room views the waiting time and idle moments spent by a director and his team when shooting a film. In a villa in the middle of nowhere, a young film maker and his team shoot the first scenes of a political thriller. Suddenly, the producer disappears for no given reason. The shooting is suspended and the team, at first full of great expectations, slowly goes adrift. Red Room unveils the frailties of youth in search of meaning.
Inspiré de L’Etat des Choses de Wim Wenders et découlant directement du travail filmique de l’artiste visuel Kurt d’Haeseleer pour K.O.D. Red Room suit les moments de désoeuvrement et d’attente d’un réalisateur et de son équipe de tournage. Dans une villa, au milieu de nulle part, un jeune réalisateur et son équipe tournent les premières scènes d’un thriller politique, soudainement, le producteur disparait sans donner d’explication. Le tournage est suspendu, l’équipe, plongée dans l’expectative, part lentement à la dérive. Red Room dévoile les fragilités dʼune jeunesse en quête de sens.
