Le Sémaphore Sauvage - The Untamed Semaphore
Film by Kate Young and Raphaël Decoster - 1 1 , 1 2 min
This Film was inspired by the connexion between Iceland and Bretagne when French fishermen were sailing there to fish the cod, and by the first telegraph cable connecting Iceland to Europe, shored in Seyðisfjörður in 1906. With the sea, the two characters communicate together through this symbolic cable which attached the two lands together. Each one in his own harbor, they talk to each other with music going inside a rope. When the melody arrived at the other end, the message slighltly changed, affected by the sea.
Filmed in Seyðisfjörður (Iceland) and Douarnenez (France)
