This film is my entry for the 2010 Yo! Sushi Award for Film and Sculpture Exploring Issues Around Identity in a Powerful Way. I feel that, in a powerful way, it explores issues around identity.

This makes for distinctly uncomfortable viewing. It's like some amateur alpaca porn movie. It's only missing some electric guitar.
ReplyDeleteExcoriating stuff Brit, somewhat in the lineage of Shane Meadows or Lars Von Trier. Instead of primary schooling, this video should be looped, given an N-Dubz soundtrack, and then beamed directly into our children's retinas whilst we force feed them McCain's microchips and punch them repeatedly in the solar plexus

ReplyDeleteW and W: if you have the necessary skills to overdub a soundtrack, do feel free to create your own porno/Clockwork Orange-style brainwashing remixes.
The rumble in the background adds to the effect too. It's either a storm, you inadvertently touching the camera's mike, or an alpaca scratching itself against a theramin.
