Glasgow Film Festival Partir to Live with Jozef van Wissem

Dutch minimalist composer Jozef van Wissem performs a live soundtrack to this screening of Chilean film Partir to Live. Jozef has recently collaborated with filmmaker/musician Jim Jarmusch on several projects and was awarded the Soundtrack Award at the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival for his work on Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive.

An experimental expedition into a dark subconscious, the film follows a young man as he traverses through the desolate Chilean countryside, searching for the paranormal and otherworldly. With looming shots of high-tension cables, forests and abandoned churches, the directorial debut of twenty-five-year-old Domingo García-Huidobro is described as ‘an experience into sensations, ethical confusion, and physical & psychic contusions’.

Warning – this film contains strobe effects.
