The Sole of the Foot

Year2011 Duration34 min. DirectorRobert Fenz

16 mm

“A series of improvised variations on the concept of ‘place,’ The Sole of the Foot explores ideas of belonging, isolation, and displacement. I filmed in France, Israel, and Cuba, among populations whose claim to belonging and identity are contested by others who assert a superior right to belong. I chose these locations because of questions I have about my own sense of belonging and of place. The sound in the film moves in-and-out of sync; the film itself is in color. Color, like sync sound, creates an illusion of presence. By using location sound, and moving it in or out of sync, I try alternately to enhance or mute a sense of alienation and disorientation – touched by improvisation – creating a space wherein viewers may contemplate their own train of thought as equal participants in an act of imaginative co-creation.” – Robert Fenz
