Quies is an experimental documentary by filmmaker Ezra Eeman. The starting point is a portrait of Belgian sound artist Peter Lenaerts as he attempts to record silence in Australia's arid and empty centre. Lenaerts has been obsessed with silence for years. Not as absence of sound, but as space. Space in which sound happens. As he attempts to capture these quiet spaces, each take re-enforces the absurdity of his quest. Quies is ultimately about failure. Because silence does not exist. And if it does, it cannot be recorded. And even if it could be recorded, it would never be re-experienced the same way. Quies the film ask the viewer to become a listener.
