Sofie Roelants, sleeping sun rise

sleeping sun rise (BE, digital 2K, 32′)

As night transitions into morning and we slowly reawaken together with all that is around us, doubt and confusion get silenced by the light of the sun. Just before, during the silent hours of darkness, a loud world plays out within a human body while the previous day is processed and small changes gradually occur. How long does it take for all this to become noticeable?

What kind of tenderness does the environment offer a person, and how can a person relate to it’s surroundings in times of personal change?

sleeping sun rise is a film-poem hovering between the form of a lullaby and a meditation. It expresses a personal inner world and its numerous feelings. Taking place somewhere in between confusion and calmness, inside and outside, light and dark.
