Orientations

About This Movie

Orientations (2010) plunges you into the streets of Tunis through a series of sequences that blend documentary and experimental styles. The use of a subjective camera creates a disorienting yet intimate view of the city—it's like wandering alongside the filmmaker, feeling every nuance of the environment. The unique use of ink-filled glass as a compass adds this layer of illusion, almost a surreal quality to the experience. It evokes a sense of floating, a delicate balance of reality and abstraction. The pacing meanders, much like the city itself, allowing viewers to really soak in the atmosphere. The film doesn’t push a narrative but rather invites contemplation on the nature of direction and place in urban life.
