In the beginning was sound. It broke an infinite nothing, hissing, shaking, and rattling out into all directions. Meanwhile, in Manitoba, a canon blasts as a new statue is unveiled, and the following day, the sun does not rise. Worldwide, people huddle around the warm glow of their television sets eagerly awaiting the uprising of a new sun, but in the Red River Valley, mysterious events unfold, weaving together the lives of a sculptor, a security guard, and an intrepid civil servant.

Shot in saturated 16mm film on broken Bolex cameras, Levers mixes in-camera fx with a delicate eye for beauty, portraying an exploration of communal mourning through a potent mixture of the rarity of fantasy and the idleness of the everyday.

Levers is the second feature film from Exovedate Productions LTD. “Often imitated, never duplicated.”
