Almost a Kiss

A young woman crosses a confined provincial town and its outskirts. Once at her destination, a strange mourning protocol awaits her.

"A young woman wearing a camouflage backpack crosses a provincial town under lockdown and its outskirts. Once at the destination, a strange mourning protocol awaits her. This elegantly shot on 16mm short by auspicious director Camille Degeye ends the diptych, started by Journey Through a Body (Doclisboa, 2019). It borrows the title from the song by Throbbing Gristle. Not only music surrounds the protagonist, but also poetry, films, Stiegler’s lectures, and the presence of friends. But grief is always a moment when one ultimately finds itself in absolute loneliness, despite consolation by art."
