Thanatos

'The wings of wax, flying, dreaming of oneself as a bird Deliriums allowed by the Greek's ethics Forbidden is the Sun The moral of the myth of Icarus is prudence' Icarus, Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader and the security robot Knightscope K5 seem to have one thing in common: imprudence. This independent short-film verses about our life/death impulse. The narrative is constructed from various anecdotes as profound as they're mundane, and combines found-footage and original material. 'Thanatos' is selected for the Media Library 2019 | Visions du Réel, Festival international de cinéma Nyon.
