Sensorial resistance to fixity and hierarchy, focus on transformation with all senses engaged in the process, are key aspects to this new work. Both free-form and minutely composed, The Hand that Sings proposes a lyrical interplay of correspondences where bodies, landscape, and the camera jointly perform, attuned to one another.

SLACK

A new documentary nominated by Kran gallery
“These people…. They’re all this close to God or death.” Mike Brodie (photographer) holds up a pinched thumb and forefinger. “They’re addicted to the feeling of dying.”
As [director Cyril Lachauer and photographer, Mike Brodie] began to construct the film, Mike’s conviction that he needed to honor Mia’s [Mike’s girlfriend, aka “Slack”] life grew. Slack morphed into a shrine built onto a dreamscape. Between stunning footage of the American landscape and interviews with Mike’s companions, we see short clips of Mia’s life as well. Although the film does not tell her story, her spirit gives life to Slack in a way that unifies. –The Turtle Dove
Germany, USA, 2025, dir. Cyril Lachauer, 61′, OVwEn, DCP, info
