"1,2,3, Whiteout: The End of the Light Age" is a sound and image tone poem directed by James June Schneider.
Film presentation by James June Schneider and sound artist Elmapi (2007, 16mm, French and English, 72 minutes)
In a blindingly bright future a woman named Veronique and an inventor (art house legend Lou Castel) join forces to struggle against the reign of man-made light and the world it represents.
"This 'experimental tone poem for darkness' mixes amazing original vignettes with diverse archive found footage, an exceptional sci-fi sensibility and incredible soundscapes to form a blissfully imaginative and retro-futuristic creation. Set in 'an old-fashioned kind of future'... As much about sound as about darkness, it asks: Can we shine when we are faced with blinding light?" -Leeds International Film Festival
