Plot
Storyline
A poetic revision of Greek architecture focused on the temple in Bassae, which was peculiar given its isolated location unlike other major Greek temples.
A short experimental film centered on the ancient Temple of Apollo at Bassae in Greece. Like "Mediterranee", it has no conventional narrative. Instead, it focuses on the ruins of the temple through carefully composed, recurring images. The film emphasizes light, stone, and landscape, creating a meditative rhythm that reflects on time, decay, and the enduring presence of antiquity. Through repetition and minimal commentary, "Bassae" becomes a visual meditation on history and perception, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between ancient architecture and the passage of time.
