Morphes
EXPERIMENTAL
12 minutes
A man and a boy find themselves in a mysterious forest at night. Together, they must find their way towards the light.
Morphes is an experimental film composed of a series of disjointed memories from my childhood in my grandparents house. The film follows the relationship between a young boy and an old man, as they explore the house that surrounds them.
Throughout the film, we are uncertain of the precise relationship of the two characters - believing that they are either the same (with the boy representing the man's childhood self), or a young boy and his grandfather.
As the film develops, we realise that the house is slowly coming to life, with the paintings surrounding the characters becoming animated, and characters from their lives appearing and disappearing from dark corners.
It is a film which is driven by rhythm, sound and music, more so than a fixed narrative.
