Challenging Our View of Temporality

Il y a la durée -oh non pas quatrième mais première dimension.Ces pommes, ces serviettes, ces dunes s'écoulent.Ces hémorragies de lumière en nous sont inappréciables.J'ai dit durée.Il y faut du silence..." Dominique Noguez, Le Cinéma Autrement.1987: 353-54 Two girls and two boys pose for a still picture, embraced by David MacDougall.This is the image under the opening title of the film project, Delhi at Eleven.There is in this image a sense of eternity and a special joy, a restraint but a durability, a posture that is not simply posed.The children are aged eleven, as we learn from the following title, but "Delhi at Eleven" could just as easily be referring to a time of day or night.The title plays with this ambiguity: we become intrigued by the fact that children make films and that perhaps these films can tell us something about another kind of space-time, another age-span in the making of films; for it is the case that for many children from disadvantaged social classes, eleven is an age that implies responsibilities that belong both to adulthood and childhood
