Berlin premiere of 'Diving' by Gavin Evans, winter 2014

An uninterrupted chain of events; one artist, one subject, one camera, one light, one musician deliver a pure signal. Diving is film composed for music comprising nine silent cinematic movements. Each ‘movement’ is a portrait in slow-motion of an individual who has undergone extraordinary, often unimaginable, life changing experiences. HIV, addiction, violence, trauma and paralysis are some of the issues explored. Diving is accompanied live by a musician, cellist Ashia Grzesik, who conveys the emotions as they unfold onscreen; film and music are both intrinsic and inextricable. Throughout Diving the unquestioned trust between artist and subject unlocks moments of profound intimacy as suppressed or harboured emotions surface. These shared moments engage the audience in catharsis, reassurance or self-reflection.
