This short film is part of the Competition for Belgian Student Shorts.
New Silence is a rhythmic portrait of the search for connection between a reclusive drummer and his sister. Overwhelmed by the rumbling vibrations of a fragmented winter landscape, the tormented brother refuses to speak. His sister tries to break his silence by communicating indirectly through audio clips, using her brother’s sound recorder to create an auditive universe for their relationship.
