GIRL
2003, short film, DVCam colour (1:1,77), 8 min.


What remains if a film is reduced to its thrilling ending? Girl experiments with this idea. The dark climax of a doomed love affair is presented here as a short movie. The effect of this formula is shocking.

Catastrophe does not come slowly, but drags you right in its core of disaster. Within eight minutes, viewers must, on their own, reconstruct the missing one hour and a half of film. A fruitless try to find out what he is witnessing.

Cold, calculating murder or an insane love game? Girl is beyond any reason. She reverses the standard patterns and shows: Girls can hurt, too.
