Percepts (la voix de Julia)

Many people throughout the world are subjected on a daily basis to often agressive perceptions, voices or sensations of presences, which are inaudible or invisible to the rest of us. Percepts is a sensitive exploration which maps out the perceptions of “voice hearers” and their projection of the intimate onto the outside world. The film is an account of this unexpressed suffering and chaotic din. It retraces the means of communication and expression used to reveal it, give it shape and place it at a manageable distance. This poorly understood phenomenon, as it is approached in Percepts, invites us to reflect more geberally on the complexity of human experiences outside our society’s norms and their representation with the cinematographic language and audiovisual tools of today.
