Self Decapitation
Director: Rouzbeh Rashidi & Maximilian Le Cain · Year: 2017 · Production: Experimental Film Society
Synopsis
Self Decapitation is a Janus-headed self-portrait by Rouzbeh Rashidi and Maximilian Le Cain in which death and desire each take possession of this film in two parts. The ambiguities of inhabiting a human body are conjured by way of film technology in its faults, faulty memories and false promises. There is no escape from its haunting – except perhaps to haunt it in turn… By Maximilian Le Cain & Rouzbeh Rashidi (65 Mins, 2017, Ireland)
