Somer
A short film about the birth, life, and oblivion of Androgin, as well as about the invisible hand of power, his destiny. The work was inspired by the Plato dialogue «Pir» and the poem by Benedict Livšitz «Androgin».
Logline
The moon crater produces the perfect creature, androgin, but because of their desire for freedom, the gods tear it apart in half, thus destroying harmony and balance in the world.
Synopsis
Space non-space. The crater of the moon gives birth to a two — bodyed man, an androgyn. Right after he was born, invisible power puts on him the leans, which bind the movements of anandrogin, and which he tries to get rid of when he jumps. As a result of his struggle, he goes off and down. The invisible power begins to tear apart the Androgin, depriving him of his second half. His perfect, balanced body is divided into two and loses its original harmony. As a result of this brutal procedure, the androgin is divided into two single bodies confined to their total loneliness.
Reference
Early silent movies, and in particular Georges Meles’s work, are basic references. In such a film, it’s a very naive picture, a theatre picture, and a puppet picture. There are visual elements of stage art and circus that make the film more proverbial.
«Son of Astronomy» (J. Meles, 1898)
