“My Conversation With Elle” by Nicholas Patrick Afchain
Beyond the Short Official Premiere
Not quite a silent film, MY CONVERSATION WITH ELLE is concerned with the ideas and symbolism we explore in our subconscious via dreams and how they manifest themselves in reality.
FROM THE DIRECTOR
“For my next short, I was keen to explore some ideas I had about dreams and how we carry them into our daily lives. Dreams of course are universal; what I was hoping to achieve with this film was to inspire some deeper thought and understanding about how our unconscious can manipulate our conscious thoughts and feelings. I wanted to shoot on 16mm again and this story really benefited from the simplicity of a monochromatic look. I also liked the notion that our dreams are colourful and our reality is black and white. I am very proud of the film we made as a group, I hope audiences find something in it you can carry with you after watching.”
