At the new Bedlam Film Festival Bedlam church theatre 2am Wednesday August 10th www.bedlamfringe.co.uk Tickets on the door Featuring The Transmitters by Serena Korda 333666999 by Anikó Kuikka Still seeing dissapeared the sailors by Christoph Oertli I'll finally lose the plot... by Alice Theobald The Transmitters by Serena Korda "The Transmitters, examines the thin line between fan frenzy, freedom of expression and female hysteria. A group of women dance to music performed by two musicians bearing prosthetic ‘third eyes’. The choreography of this cult-like ritual is inspired by archival footage of fan-frenzied young women enraptured by Beatlemania. These scenes are spliced with terrifying images of the deadly Tarantula spider which alludes to the Italian folk phenomenon the Tarantism, historically performed as an antidote to the potentially fatal venom of a spider’s bites." 333999666 by Anikó Kuikka "Welcome aboard this divine play of life, death and afterlife - taking the form of woman, man and god. Angel starts questioning her mother, defies her father and finally finds fulfilment within herself." Still seeing dissappeared the sailors by Christoph Oertli "The video shows a group of men, gathered in the hall of a public building. The men speak, laugh and observe. Some leave and return later; they behave strangely. The unconscious rules of social behavior are disrupted by unexpected dynamics and gestures." I'll Finally Lose the Plot by Alice Theobald "Five scripted lines of a cyclical form create a role-reversal loop between a couple. Resembling both different film takes, rehearsal and a repetitive argument, it is layered with wordplay that references its construction. ‘I’ll finally loose the plot’ alludes to the madness of a seemingly irresolvable domestic circular argument that is played out from different view points and the films lack of narrative." |
