DE ZANGER DEMODOKOS
Jan Vromman'De zanger Demodokos' returns to the basics of our culture. In a short meditation about the role of text and music, of seeing and blindness, Jan Vromman evokes the blind singer from Homer - the darling of the muses.

LA VIE COMPLEXE

The ragged soundtrack, at first totally incomprehensible, gets clearer and clearer as the image gradually focuses. "The complex life shows itself bit by bit to him’’, a French voice reads out at the end....
