The Accident

Short drama about a seventeen year-old girl, the lifeguard she fancies, and her older sister who he fancies.

Night... is about glamour and the process of victimisation. The tape shifts texture as it shifts tone from pleasure to disgust, celebration to critique, anxiety to sympathy, analysis to vapidity.

This tape is an attempt to focus on a few moments of the fractured, subjective experience of public sexual encounters – an evening spent in a nightclub.
