Hasbannium from Thomas Depas on Vimeo.

A kid on an overboard, a camgirl setting up the show, a stranger sneaking trucks, while a gamer’s spleen resonates in a virtual dungeon. Hasbannium is a series of impressionist evocations drawing elliptic sequences in a metaphorical desert, an experimental fiction rooted in Hesbaye, an agricultural region in Belgium with open horizons, devoid of forests or rivers.

Through these landscapes, a choral film comes into being, with figures seeking out a humanity that reinvents itself in a universe of signs and meanings that are increasingly confused. The result is an impressive evocation of the temptation to disappear, in which absence to self and world sketches out granular motifs.

Cinefactum from Thomas Depas on Vimeo.

Une clairière, une cabane en bois. Assis, un adolescent y agace un briquet sur une brindille. Voilà la cabane prendre feu. Voilà le gamin debout, immobile, faire face aux flammes, fasciné par le spectacle. Voilà la caméra engager un ballet autour de la scène, jusqu’à la fin de braises. Ronde de la caméra, fascination de ces images Super 8, comme venues de loin, comme un souvenir d’enfance, et le mouvement de la disparition. Voilà, peut-être, ce que couvait le cinefactum du titre : le Fait-cendre. (NF)
