Place Vauban

About This Movie

So, Place Vauban is this intriguing video piece by Nicky Hamlyn from 2012. It’s not your usual narrative structure – you know, more of an experiential thing. There’s this meditative quality throughout, with a delicate rhythm that draws you in. The way Hamlyn plays with visuals and sound creates this almost hypnotic atmosphere; it feels like you’re wandering through a dream. It's all about perception and how we engage with the space around us, really. The pacing is slow but intentional, making every moment feel significant, even if it’s just a fleeting image. Definitely stands out in terms of its approach to filmmaking.

Place Vauban is not the most widely circulated title, which adds to its appeal for collectors looking for something a bit off the beaten path. The film has been released in limited formats, making original copies somewhat scarce. There’s a growing interest in Hamlyn’s work among collectors who appreciate experimental cinema, as it offers a chance to explore different cinematic languages beyond traditional narratives.
