Ottu (Eight)
Synopsis
A filmmaker searches for the eight winds of the Mediterranean on the island of Corsica. Using found footage and employing 16mm hand-processing experiments that attempt to expose its ethereal subject, the film brings audiences to abandoned churches, cemeteries, and ravaged beaches in itsquest to find meaning in that which is invisible and has neither source nor end.
