Après la pluie

’Après la Pluie’ combines the visual and auditive notes she made during a trip through Shanghai and Peking. It is an account of waking up in another world, in between dreams and sensations, the physical and visual shock. The Super 8 images catch the penetrating colours and stimuli and an awakening love for a civilisation full of possibilities and contradictions. As it turns out these are but the first traces of an intimate quest for the poetry of a population, with its many memories and gestures. ’Aprés la pluie’ is the third film by Alberta Sessa and the second in collaboration with video and audio artist Antonin De Bemels.
