The silent film “La coquille et le clergyman” (“The Shell and the Clergyman”) was made in 1928 by French filmmaker Germaine Dulac, based on a script by Antonin Artaud. Dulac transforms Artaud’s raw and violent love triangle into a dreamlike flicker and develops a feminist perspective on the film’s narrative of circling desire, of this Oedipal love – always consuming, never attained. In tune with the rhythm of the images, musician Raphael Hitz builds an immersive soundscape of nightmarish wanderings and technoid pulses.
