Quote:
"Several filmmakers continue to explore space and landscape on film. [...] Ellie Epp's Trapline (1975) is the most cooly beautiful of all: filmed in the Kensington baths, London, it sets a sequence of geometrically organized shots, outwardly but gently alive with light changes, ripples and reflections, within the continuous, distantly reverberant sound space of the entire building."
