Inspired by the poetry of Etel Adnan, Michèle Lamy and Matt Lambert’s new short film is soundtracked by Arca and Lavascar – here, the pair tell AnOther how it all came together
. “We started over,” he says, “letting Etel’s words take the edit down a much more intuitive and poetic road.”, the resulting film captures a dreamlike journey in lustrous black and white, overlaid with a hypnotic soundtrack. Lamy and Harper dance in unison and hold one another in footage from anfurniture atelier outside Paris, as well as the surrounding fields and the drive home. “We were coming down from the catharsis of the shoot and didn’t want to stop the ride,” Lambert explains.
In summary, the filmmaker describes it as “an endless tale of infinite lives”, inspired by his collaborator’s “always-curious mind” and tireless creative drive. This is also a reference to Adnan’s words, which are sung by Lamy on the Lavascar albumpoetic descriptor resonates with Lamy herself, she says, bringing it back once again to the source material: “
It’s connected to the ideas and the feelings inspired by Etel’s poetry and how she talks about ‘infinity’. We know life is short, so we try to make the best of it. I need infinite lives. We all have infinite lives.”Woven throughout this exploration of infinity are potent examinations of the roles of mother, daughter, and lover. “I was flabbergasted when I became a mother,” notes Lamy . “Now I see it from a better perspective. It has changed my life, even though it also felt very natural to me.
