About film
Counterlight, 3rd part of Maya Zack's Memory Trilogy, is a hypnotic journey following the traces of poet Paul Celan. An archivist listens to extracts from recordings by Celan, analyzes the materials, penetrates the space of an old street photograph made in the 1937 Czernowitz, and resurrects the past.
