BuildFilm4: Skimming 2024 Directed by Connor Parsley
Experimental short film by Connor Parsley. Skimming deals directly with the corporeal world coming into violent contact with the digital. Its structure and shapes are drawn from that of the handheld screen of the cellphone. This is simultaneously a hopeful and a depressed film about being a very small, intensely controlled organism in a hostile world. Also, one must ask oneself today in 2024, “Is the constant stream of light, images, sounds, and videos coming from my palm actually cinema or something else entirely?”
