Author's notes

“ Positioning itself on the borderlines of cinema, OCCUPY THE POOL is a weird project that began in 2013. Made as a fiction, but with nonprofessional actors, the film was thought, like a structure allowing the camera to glide and follow moments that were scripted beforehand. It is about an experience of a group of people, which their only occupation seems to be finding the next party to go to. “
