Heliotrope & Citron

About this title

This short film comes from a chance encounter of finding a Marguerite Duras' novella in a small bookshop on 9th avenue in NYC and reading it over a tuna melta at the Star on 18 Diner. The resulting 16 mm film was created by documenting 12 hours of tidal shifts on England's south coast combined with the slow, choreographed movements of "she", whose sinuous body disrupts the frame, view, and optical soundtrack.
