Flesh
 World
Premiere
Category: Experimental 17min 16 sec
Director: xtine Burrough
Flesh is a
fragmented montage-narrative based in the tradition of the
feminist testimonial. Identity politics, date rape, and
internal struggles with commercially constructed ideals of
beauty weave the narrator's tale as she travels from memory to
memory. Through repetition, sound, and imagery, the
narrator unfolds a multi-layered story, while admitting
throughout that cannot know the whole of a story which
(ironically) belongs to her. flesh tests the viewers' ability to
continue to shift understandings while watching as the pace and
the amount of information transmitted grows and shrinks from
scene to scene. In the misunderstanding of an abundance of daily
information, flesh attempts to mimic the multiplicity of life
happenings within it's retelling of events.
