Echo Chamber - 170 - Part Three
And, in 'Part Three' of this week's @EchoChamberFP we take a look at a film that really has viewers' on the festival circuits nerves on eggshells. AND, after looking at the film, we had the opportunity to sit down with the enigmatic director, to discuss, his process, the film, and much, much more!!!
Johannes Grenzfurthner directs and co-writes 'Masking Threshold' with Samantha Lienhard. Conducting a series of experiments in his makeshift home-lab, a skeptic IT worker tries to cure his harrowing hearing impairment. But where will his research lead him? The film combines a chamber play, a scientific procedural, an unpacking video, and a DIY YouTube channel while suggesting endless vistas of existential pain and decay. Glimpse the world of the nameless protagonist in this eldritch tale, which is by no means for the faint of heart.
