Du Plaisir De Se Tourner Les Pouces
This short movie directed by Tiana Kader is an rotoscopical poem declaring her uncertain love for introspection and boredom.
The film has won the Jury’s Favorite Prize at the Festival du Film Court de la Sorbonne 2021.
The title means Of the pleasure of twiddling our thumbs.
To match with both the experimental aesthetics and the text about boredom and repetition, I actively searched for suited sound palettes with granular synthesis.
Granual synthesis uses short samples of sounds to play them with controlled randomness, repetition and rigidity, and was to me the perfect tool pour experiment on the same ground as the director.
The second part of the short (from 01:54) going more for themes around reverie and contemplated memories, the music blends toward a melancolic melody full of hope.
