   Opening Lines

   This is the opening line from Ethan Frome and even though the story itself doesn’t resonate with Immersion this line is very apt in consideration of an endangered language. When there is wholescale loss speech you can almost imagine the ghost like whispers of  long forgotten phrases which may have been said or  things that might have been done.

    As it is the last couple of weeks have been very productive. I’m submitted the film to a deluge of festivals including Kinofilm in Manchester, Krakow  and CLERMONT-FERRAND among others.  Here’s hoping for the best as I continue before the deadlines. 

   In relation to Podcast translations we have made contact with Yuchi, Gaelic and possible Welsh speakers and will hopefully be getting a few interviews up before Christmas

   Here is the scene from the script describing Lema looking across the street.

   EXT: STREET IN NORTHERN QUARTER

   Lema looks across the street

   (Dream like sequence, hypnotic

   and slow )

   A woman sets up a wooden block, a paint brush and a jar of

   water. She paints characters onto the wood block with water.

   They fade and disappear. She does the same onto a shop

   window. These characters also seem to evaporate once

   written. A man, Dominant Language, crashes into her. She

   falls onto her knees and the glass jar holding the water

   shatters. The fallen woman tries to say something but no

   sound comes from her. The man looks deliberately at Lema and

   then walks on without trying to help the fallen woman.

    "Black Rhinoceros"

Black Rhinoceros was one of the names considered for the script before Immersion was finally chosen. This will be an ongoing blog which will discuss festivals, raising awareness, trying to get the film translated into several languages and a possible script for a feature length film.
