How the alphabet became blue

Experimental ficiton-   25'  -  2017 - Tourné en Grèce

​

"The A is yellow, and Sunday is red," thinks a man typing on a typewriter. When Ariadne leaves Luc, he no longer perceives colors in the same way. His perception becomes synesthetic, associating colors with sensations, disrupting his memories with Ariane and his perception of time.

Filmed in a single continuous shot and mixing filmed and modeled images, "How the Alphabet Became Blue" is a journey through the memory of a character trying to escape it.
