The Mourners
On the gravel bed of a river, two friends are trying to catch some fishes. One of them is feeling anxious, as if something tragic is going to happen. Meanwhile, in a damp cellar, some people - obsessed by their appearance - get familiar with a new, brilliant way to get a perfect body: the Marcy Method! Let's walk down the dark path with these characters, to discover just how far people are willing to go, to look beautiful to the others eyes. |
MOVE!
MOVE! The video introduces a man who is taking pictures of training machines in a fitness hall. Apparently, he has no further use for the photos and puts them in an old shoe box to completely forget about them. The shoe box now operates as a magic space: the machines become alive and decide to go to the theatre to attend an acrobatic fitness performance. This provides the starting point of a fantasy film sequence consisting of various narratives representing contemporary views on fitness. In contrast to most films MOVE! uses visual language, among which rhythmicity of image (and sound), to give structure to the film. |
