Completed in 2000 (the same year as his third feature-length work, BACK AGAINST THE WALL), James Fotopoulos' THE SUN is a 16mm silent short that beguilingly cross-cuts between a lovely young woman, uncomfortably waiting, and the sun-drenched outdoors. Between these two seemingly unrelated sequences, a tension develops. Without the assistance of a soundtrack as a guide, anything imaginable could be possible. Or nothing at all. THE SUN is another remarkable selection from the Cinemad Almanac.
