Color of Noise

2014 | Students film, Short | Director: Vytautas Tinteris

It is impossible to see the color of noise, since sound and color are phenomenons that lack a single common trait. Can the same be applied to the mutual relationships between people? Can our senses and even feelings be never translated and defined by anybody else but ourselves? Even if we feel close to each other, there is an endless distance between each of us, which can never be overcome as the color of noise can never be seen.

This story is based on two different perceptions of the world, one being audial, the other – visual. To reveal the contrast between them even more, there are quite scientific texts used in this film. Those texts have been created in a formal manner to ephasize the abstract environment and mood of the film, at the same time bringing the main storyline to a more deeper, metaphorical and symbolic level. In such a way exactly those texts, viewed in the context of the relationships between two main characters, brings out the main idea of the film.
