Soul Catcher, a sensory journey through light and the human form
There is a beach. Hundreds of people left behind their busy city life to put their bodies at rest on the golden sands.
There is camera. The lens frames the bodies and faces of these bathers who abandon themselves to an original state of contemplation. They look at us giving their soul as if this picture were their last sign of life.
There is a belief. Some indigenous tribes believe that a piece of human soul goes away with every picture taken.
Director PV Lehtinen builds a beautiful experimental film based on this aboriginal premise. He gives birth to Soulcatcher, an unparalleled sensory journey where light and human form speak about our existence.
