Nocturne is a 5-minute film shot entirely at night in the deserted streets of the city. The film aims to find nocturnal images of London revealing the presence of the past, or the presence of the dead, thus referring to its hidden history. It was filmed in deserted streets around London's East End, and on the docks, since there is the impression of a resonant city, full of shadows manifesting there at night.
It's composed of long, static shots, each slowly developing over time, as if if you watch long enough its secrets will be revealed. Shot on 16mm, using long exposures and time lapse techniques, gives the film a sense of transience or historical time. The deserted, dreary streets are transformed as they appear in hyper-real color, devoid of traffic and human activity.
