The Wind is a feature-length film commissioned by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and meticulously constructed from over 1,000 clips featuring wind taken from hundreds of other movies – from romcoms to westerns, spy dramas and horror movies. These films were all commercially produced, and come from countries all around the world, creating a sense of a shared force that we can observe as it travels around the globe.
Each clip of wind has its original sound. Sometimes this is the wind itself, but more often it carries fragments of tone, dialogue, music, or the edge of dramatic action from its previous context. We look at a cherry orchard through falling blossoms and hear a blood curdling scream. We see an uninhabited farmhouse and hear a car door slam behind us. This seemingly random audio concrete poetry is connected by the repeated visual of the wind that increases in force as the film develops. A very special immersive experience to start the Saturday afternoon at CFF!
