Slow Cinema
The contemporary world is accelerating; battling with time and efficiency has become a daily routine for most. But the faster we go, the blurrier some things become, to the point of being unheard or unseen. Thus, within the span of a single film, through several deeply contemplative "gazes," it's possible to discover that "slowing down" is, in fact, a very, very, very beautiful thing. By immersing ourselves in this slow spirit through cinema, some things finally become clear, and then, they can be heard and seen.

The scars of youth, the terror at the edge of the boxing ring, the wordless closeness between strangers, and the farewells quietly practiced in daily life—six films, each rehearsing the very same question: If only an encore remains, what sound do you wish to leave behind?
