ALOW, FILM 2022
ALOW, 28min - a hallucinatory nightmare characterized by pervasive anxiety, loss of control and trepidation luring under the surface of three different escapist encounters.
Shot at TRAUMA BAR UND KINO, this underground tale explores feelings of restlessness and overstimulation in a fragmented way. It examines uncertainty as a collective state of mind, simultaneously haunted by notions of a lost past and anticipated future.
Purposefully filmed and edited in long takes with its raw cinematic quality, the film intentionally creates a first-person view to emphasize a subjective and immersive experience of a dream-like sequence in contrast to the theatrical staging.
This immersive journey breaks down the underlying wish for escapism while experiencing a fickle and unsettling relationship with reality.
Wielding a multidisciplinary arsenal of performance, sound and fashion, ALOW combines and bends characteristics of genres between arthouse, fashion film, screen dance and slow horror.
