Nom à la mer

In "Nom à la mer," viewers witness the reflections of the sky on the water as filmed in Nijar, Spain. Safaa Fathy captures this serene landscape with a unique approach, taking a shot every half-hour from morning to evening. The film intertwines visuals with the poetic voice of Jacques Derrida, who reads a poem translated from Arabic by Zeinad Zaza and himself.

This documentary emphasizes the relationship between sound and image, offering a meditative experience that invites deeper contemplation on the nature of time. Fathy’s direction highlights the beauty of simplicity and the passage of time through carefully composed imagery and thoughtful narration.
