Stillness Arises, the nomad portrait of Mathieu Le Lay

A principios de 2014, el realizador audiovisual Benjamin Dowie viajó hasta Europa sin ningún tipo de plan. Durante ese tiempo, recorrió los rincones más inhóspitos del viejo continente para conocer nuevos lugares y gente. En este camino nómada, Benjamin encontró a Mathieu Le Lay, un cineasta francés con el mismo espíritu aventurero que él que había seguido en Vimeo desde hacia años. Se conocieron en persona en Londres y decidieron partir hasta Francia para recorrer el país y que Mathieu le enseñara desde los Alpes franceses hasta la Bretaña. Era de esperar que estos cineastas trasladaran sus experiencias sobre el celuloide, así que Benjamin empezó a grabar con su cámara los momentos que vivían hasta crear un retrato audiovisual de Mathieu. Bajo el título ‘Stillness Arises‘, conocemos a Mathieu Le Lay a través de los ojos de Benjamin Dowie en un viaje inolvidable.
