Tigers Can Be Seen in the Rain Oscar Ruiz Navia

Les Tigres sont déjà visibles sous la pluie

The candour of images from the past, filmed by a camera still hesitant in the hands of the siblings learning to use it, meets the coldness of the Montreal winter, frozen in still shots. Voices, taken from voice messages, speak not only of illness and sadness but also of hope and everyday life. Two times and two places intertwine, united by the voices that run through them and by the nostalgia and absence they evoke. Tigers Can Be Seen in the Rain is a delicate collage between movement and stillness, between homeland and adopted country, between present and memory, and between presence and disappearance—an experimental essay on mourning and a tribute to a loved one gone too soon. (AJL)

You can learn more about the filmmaking process of Oscar Ruiz Navia, which will be participating in the Roundtable | From the Personal to the Collective: Filmmaking as Reflection.
