Any Way

Any Way shows three people running together on an athletics track. The repetitive motion introduces the rhythm to a serene trance. The act of running itself is the focal point of the film: a continuous movement suspended in time. Varying frame rates allow the viewer to examine details of the motion that would otherwise be obscured by their own speed.

The repetitive soundscape and music generates suspense. Breath, heartbeat and the runners' strides give way to each other. Towards the end of the film the physical exertion turns into a state of bliss.
