For the Time Being

Stuart Pound & Rosemary Norman

Synopsis

“for the time being” is a collage of moving images made thirty years apart and re-worked into seventeen sections of tentative autobiography. The soundtrack mixes music and environmental sound with conversation, not all of it intelligible. In the scraps that are, the film-maker and his partner talk together about how we document and re-interpret our lives.

1985 was a difficult year for me. My mother had died, an attempted love affair went badly wrong, I hadn't made a film for five years. I bought a video camera and went to Cuba for three weeks. Music and memory play important parts. I first heard this particular music in Louis Malle's LES AMANTS (1958) when I was a teenager.

Confidences

Director: Stuart Pound

Year: 2025

A private conversation is transformed into a soundscape where only the occasional word emerges with any clarity. Moiré patterns move like human shapes, meet then separate into the darkness.
