Citations sur Trapline [en anglais]
« Because the space within the frame contains little to hold our interest, our
attention is drawn to the source of the sounds emanating from off-screen
locations. By placing so much of the content of the film in the off-screen
sound and by using shots of prolonged durations, Epp suggests the notion
of absence that resides in photographic representation. »

« 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. »
