In illo αTempore (2026)

Part seven of cycle "The Requiem Films". “I imagine that almost everyone who has come across this piece is familiar with the phrase ‘in illo tempore’. In illo tempore—in that time. […] Let’s pause for a moment on ‘tempore’. Let’s consider, as laypeople might, what part of the original phrase this is. Of course, it is technically ‘time.’ [..] When an extra letter ‘a’ appeared in my mind—which has a tendency to complicate all sorts of concepts to the limit—it completely changed the perspective of everything. ‘aTempore’ was born. What did that mean to me? If ‘tempore’ is, theoretically, ‘(at) that time,’ then ‘aTempore’ would mean ‘non-time.’ Now we have ‘That Non-Time.’ Does this mean we should think of time that has stopped? Or perhaps of different spaces, sensations? […]” - as the introductionary note to the movie says.
