Re: Entry

When I was eighteen, I was young, I dove in the pool and it seemed like I was thirty before I reached the other side. In the water I was suddenly in a different world, the walls had gone and the darkness was not the absence of light but the presence of things unseen – of a whole world of being not known or realized before. I got out and looked at the ripples in the water extending away from me. I was looking into this time past, with his immensity of vision, straining my eyes to distinguish some form, listening for an intelligible sound. But as I stared, all that looked back was a reflection, that made the surrounding darkness seem transparent like a sky. I re-entered to find out why. “Re: Entry” is a film in which fear and anxiety are transplanted with techniques of relaxation. This cross-connection gives birth to a field of unexplored emotion. Through the colour and the movement, we move on this wave of feeling released, by nature, the nature of time, of terrain familiar and not so, and as the film progresses our conception of unrealized or felt vision becomes less solid, more fluid. A retention of water. (Carl Brown)
