Abstract

A collaborative experimental documentary project

Directors & Producers: Tineke van Veen and Barbara Prezelj
Director of Photography: Felix Schüster
Editing: Eline Helena
Sound design: Justin Schellekens

Unsettling Dust explores the lived, bodily experience of radiation by focusing on the relationship between post-nuclear landscapes, radioactive dust and breathing. It draws attention to Fort de Vaujours, a former nuclear weapons testing site on the outskirts of Paris and asks what it means to be living with invisible contagion today. While Fort de Vaujours and radioactivity are the main subject matters of the project, the conceptual underpinnings tie the subject to the universally shared experience of breathing as a basic need for human existence.
