Scream (2022), experimental essay film, 47 min
A first person journey through the psychic residue of a post-terror world.
An essay film about death drive, fantasy and globalisation.
Structured around three infotainment news broadcasts (a rollercoaster, a hijacking, and an influencer) and soundtracked by pulsating electronics, 'Scream' deals equally in satire and dread. Capitalism, imperialism and desire are all implicated in a nihilism that has seeped from the news into the social psyche.
Scream was premiered with a live score at the RMIT Capitol Theatre 12/04/21 for Melbourne Music Week alongside Simona Castricum with a panel hosted by Simon Winkler. Music and direction by Luke Neher and Sam Gill.
