a woman runs away from something
2024
single channel video, 20 mins
a woman runs away from something is a home-invasion movie that takes the skeleton of the horror subgenre and reimagines it. By distilling the narrative to pure format, the film decodes cinematic archetypes. Often parodying structural and narrative conventions, the work plays with the mechanisms of tension through use of cliches and moments of vulnerability. It flirts with the power of suggestion, reaching towards what is hidden through humorous techniques of absenting and remaking.
Starring Fergus Robinson, Elli Antoniou, Amelie Mckee and Ammonite.
