The film interrogates the unknown and the internal, in both subject matter and experience. Dealing with the contemporary state of perpetual doom, it contemplates various stages of life and death from the point of view of our human bodies and perceptual systems. It explores beta movement and phi phenomenon, pushing the limits of intermittence and persistence of vision, playing with our innate desire for continuity and cohesion by forcing image slip.

Production format: HD Video

Special Projection Notes:
it is loud, and should be, BUT, it gets loud at certain points that tend to scare the projectionist if specific sections aren't tested at tech check - to set the levels for the screening of the WHOLE film, test at ~ 01:44 (it's where the loudest high pitched sound is), and at ~ 11:40 (it's where the loudest bassy sound is).
