An Experimental film about mountain

Mountain plays with perspective, scale, time and sound to create a sense of anxiety and (both spatial and temporal) displacement. Confronting the viewer with the appearance of nothing happening - with stasis - the work utilizes waiting or being idle to gain insight and a deeper sense of time, duration and what it means to be 'productive.' The work thus steps on this threshold between being 'productive' and 'unproductive' and attempts to see how far anticipation and expectation could be pushed and/or stretched.
