Near Coober Pedy

Directed by Arthur Cantrill

A study of the desert plain that is not left out of foliage or geological structures, inviting us to compare it with the plain of the sea and the horizon of the previous film. Near Coober Pedy is divided into three parts: "Heat Waves": camera fades combined with the heat flickers of the horizon; "Horizon Play": compositions of the horizon line within the frame; "Fields of Vision": a view from a moving vehicle exploring the tendencies of the flat landscape, revolving around a point on which the eye is fixed. The camera systematically scans the plain, which gets closer and closer, disappearing into the horizon. (Arthur Cantrill & Corinne Cantrill)
