[sound of subtitles]

Director: Seo Hye Lee
Year: 2021
Country: United Kingdom
Type: Short

A silent film in which three repeated images play with three different subtitles: one action based, one abstract, and one music based. Seo Hye Lee playfully explores the nuances between language and sound, comparing the shaping of clay on a wheel with the way language and communication shape meaning.
