I File The Bars

Short Film

2023

I File The Bars is a 60 second surrealist short film based on the poem by Alice Rahon. Following a woman who is trapped inside her mind and inside her home. 'I file the bars of my invisible prison, I sigh like horses sigh, I pack away the baby clothes, I offer up hearts and hands, I turn a head towards mine, I see branches like birds, turning their white face to the sky, I chime the unknown hours, I arrive without leaving, I hold onto I let go of threads, I sleep on my hair, I do not look back, my eyes don’t obey me, my body doesn’t obey me, my hands belong to a stranger, I am spinning this straw, until it turns to gold'. My Role; Camera Operator, Sony A7.
