Fugue
Short Film | 23:27 | 2009
When recovering alcoholic Jane’s childhood habit of sleepwalking suddenly reappears, the line between her waking and dreaming lives becomes blurred. As the divide between the two realities expands, her relationships, as well as her sanity begin to suffer.
Written, directed, edited and produced by Kaz Phillips. Cinematography by Reed Dawson Morano. Choreography by Dan Safer. Featuring music by Balkan Beat Box, Telepathe and Nihiti.
“A relentlessly NY City story, this inventive short drama works creatively on several intriguing levels. Jane isn’t plain but she is working at sobriety, and the effects of therapy and the struggle to stay dry are taking a toll. Sensual and gorgeously shot, at once disturbing and exhilarating, Fugue weaves, as the title suggests, in and out of Jane’s real and dream worlds, in and out of desire and control.”
