LAST NIGHT

PROTOYPE001: Short film with online release for YOU ARE THE PROTOTYPE

DIRECTORS NOTE:

Desire, my own private deserted beach, the sacred sky above, classical Hollywood melodramas, constant craving, Jeremiah 29:13, Fassbinder, the othered body, unbuttoned vestments, conditions of the spirit, longing to know the unknown.

CURATOR’S NOTE:

Last Night is free of many of the assumptions about plot and genre that govern what we tend to watch in cinemas and on TV. I’ll say it’s an experimental short film of sexual and spiritual reconciliation.

I read Last Night as two women who seem awfully unhappy and inhibited, in search of lost time, reconciling their secret selves with their longing for one another. The filmmaker, Sarah Hadley, tells me that the bible verses quoted throughout are deeply seductive, alluring and rooted in a longing to know the unknown – which is precisely the feeling of being forgotten, forbidden and othered.
