Durham filmmaker Josh Gibson (Kudzu Vine) returns to Full Frame with Light Plate, a black-and-white celluloid essay illustrating and conjuring vistas of the Italian countryside. Temperature is evoked by gossamer rays of warm light and cool swaths of shadow, time is suggested by the pastoral metronome of daily routine, and space is articulated by window-framed intersections of near and far. A lyrical and diametrical study, Light Plate is sturdy yet ethereal, alien yet familiar, and ultimately persuades the viewer that a new film can be an old soul.  TM
