Hanging by an elastic

One of the two films of the 71 top submissons selected out of more than 400 submissions. A mask, symbol of the pandemic, hanging by its elastic; the humanity-at-large, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, all hanging by a thread. In addition to the environmental impacts caused by the increase in improperly discarding masks, it symbolizes the hope of the return to normalcy.  

​

Music paired with "Marble" by Roger and Brian Eno.

 

From The Music Center's Website:
 

A Quiet Scene: L.A. is a free film project and screening initiative that asked the public to create an original short film that is an authentic reflection of Los Angeles during current times, using a track from Roger and Brian Eno's Luminous EP as the score. A Quiet Scene: L.A. provides a Los Angeles perspective to the highly successful 2020 public audio-visual project—A Quiet Scene—created by Deutsche Grammophon and the Eno brothers in 2020 in support of their Mixing Colours album; this program featured short scenes shot by people from their newly found confined spaces at home in the first wave of the global pandemic. The competition/screening project is presented by The Music Center, Los Angeles’ performing arts center, and dublab, a community supported radio station based on Los Angeles, and in collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon.
