the silence for me
is more important than words
give space to silence
Give space to silence.
I liked that.
I like that a lot.
It comes from a quote from film maker, Gianfranco Rosi.
Mr. Rosi was interviewed about his documentary on the life of Pope Francis, Viaggio: The Travels of Pope Francis.
The interviewer, Radheyan Simonpillai, writes, “A lot is said during the quiet moments in Gianfranco Rosi’s In Viaggio: The Travels of Pope Francis, when the holy figure takes a pause from giving hopeful or apologetic speeches to stare into the abyss, lost in his own thoughts and prayers.
Those are opportunities for Rosi, the documentary film-maker behind Fire at Sea and Notturno, to invite the audience into contemplation and leave room for skepticism and ambivalence.”
Then Mr. Simonpillai quotes Mr. Rosi:
“The silence for me is more important than the notes itself.”
“My own interpretation as a film-maker is to give space to silence.“
“Sometimes words aren’t even enough.”
Give space to silence.
Sometimes words aren’t even enough.
Sometimes …
Give space to silence.
So many times.
Words aren’t even enough.
Give space to silence.
