There is Nothing Left of the sea but its Sound

About This Movie

This film, 'There is Nothing Left of the Sea But Its Sound,' feels like a meditation, a quiet interplay between sound and imagery. It’s a series of chapters, each crafted with Super 8 film, and there’s a certain rawness to the in-camera editing that really draws you in. The way it dialogues with Dylan Thomas's poetry is intriguing—almost like a visual echo of his lyrical rhythms. The pacing is deliberately languid, encouraging you to linger in the atmosphere rather than rush through it. You notice the intimacy of the landscape and the improvisational nature of the sound design, making it distinct in its execution. It’s certainly a niche film, but that's part of its charm.

This film is quite rare, often circulating among avant-garde and experimental film collectors. Its Super 8 format adds to the charm, but also to its scarcity, as the physical cartridges can be hard to find. The film hasn't seen many releases, making original versions particularly sought after. Those interested in the relationship between poetry and cinema might find it a compelling, if elusive, piece for their collections.
