Day 34
Directed by Karen Haglof
NYC Premiere
The Day 34 animated video is a meditation on events of vivid remembrance but possibly doubtful reality. A woman alone in her over-large bed watches old movies on an open laptop, ruminating on significant moments of a doomed relationship. The edges of reality loosen during fitful sleep and dozing into splintered memories and uncertainty. The video is rotoscope-based and digitally hand-drawn, using intertwining and overlapping abstract and representational images to set the mind-mood. The song Day 34 is a hard-edged and riff driven rocker with an interlude that segues to a lush and dreamy time and place, lyrics suggesting tropes of an old B movie.
