Dad

A woman travels between her conscious and unconscious self to capture her innocent and uncomplicated childhood relationship with her father. She slips into a dream world where she grapples with loving memories of her past and her conflicted adult psyche. This psychological narrative is told through simple dance sequences, gestures, and Super 8 footage from the 1960's. The imagery and the frenetic camerawork embody her unresolved emotional journey.
