- Summary
- " ... a composition of feature films that communicate through a feeling for temperature. Each of the fifty-seven selected films represents specifically defined degrees, from minus 11° C to 45° C. A thermometer measures the temperature outside the projection space and simultaneously edits the film programme, which changes in correspondence with the actual outdoor temperature. The commotions of weather dictate the films' narrative. At the exact moment of an increase or decrease in temperature, each film is interrupted and replaced by another, provoking an unplanned collision of meaning--the films hibernate until their 'season' comes."--P. [4].
- "This forecast journal from the year 2009 is based on the weather in Paris. A colour is assigned to each film: either one that has been singled out from a key scene or a colour remnant of filmic memory. Why the Lion Roars is the temperature-cut version of a fiction based on a true story: the weather."--P. [4].
