Trailer for short, experimental documentary 'Solace'

Directors: Institute for Eyes
Director of Photography: David Procter
Camera: Filmscape Media

Solace is a non-narrative piece that captures fragments in the daily lives of a group of East London teenagers, exploring friendship, mortality and human interaction. Through a series of monologues, Solace reveals moments of warmth, teenage isolation and the transition from adolescence into adulthood. The originally composed score pulses and glides through the film, revealing the nuances of the teenagers’ lives – moments of joy, bravado, aggression and vulnerability. These sequences demonstrate the warmth between friends, while exploring the sharp exchanges and cruel nature of teenage life. Directed in a non-conventional style, Solace blurs the line between fiction, documentary and art.
