Ten Meter Tower

Ten Meter Tower

Maximilien Van Aertryck, Axel Danielson / Sweden / 2016 / Czech Premiere / 16 min.


synopsis

A humorous conceptual game based on a simple idea – filming amateur swimmers as they get ready to jump from a 10-meter platform. The short scenes are a mixture of slapstick, miniature psychological portraits, and aesthetic studies of physical and verbal expressions and courage.
