PCAI supports Between Water and Roof: Stories of Black, an experimental documentary by Efi Spyrou exploring human condition through uncertainty, fear, and self-awareness. Blending poetic imagery, narrative interviews, and choreographic expression, the film navigates the space between light and darkness, fluidity and boundaries. Water symbolizes transformation, while the roof represents refuge and limitation. Structured in three thematic spirals—darkness, conflict, and reconciliation—the film is a sensory experience that bridges philosophy with art, inviting viewers on an existential journey through movement, sound, and image.
The director states: Between Water and Roof: Stories of Black is an experimental documentary that navigates the fluid space between darkness and light, certainty and uncertainty. Through poetic imagery, narrative interviews, and choreographic expression, the film explores the human condition—fear, transformation, and self-awareness. Water symbolizes fluidity and change, while the roof represents both boundary and refuge. In this suspended space, where time and place dissolve, the film questions the limits of perception: Am I alive or dead? Dreaming or awake? In darkness or in light? It is a cinematic meditation on blackness—not as absence, but as a force of illumination. Ultimately, Between Water and Roof invites the audience into an immersive experience, where movement, sound, and image merge in a sensory exploration of the unseen dimensions of existence.
