Originally showcased in the "Cinema Differente" section of Kinomata retrospective, Yannick Arnault’s Orbe is a mesmerizing experimental study of visual perception and light. The film delves into the interplay of reflections, where the "real" is constantly deferred and modified, gaining a life of its own through the surfaces it inhabits. Arnault explores the fluidity of appearance, bridging the gap between external reality and an inner, more abstract truth. By liberating the object from traditional narrative constraints, Orbe creates a unique sensory experience that challenges how we see and interpret the world around us—a quintessential example of 1970s avant-garde filmmaking.
