RTF MFA Student Film, Dir. Jeanne Stern, 2004
Synopsis:
“Spiral” is a poetic exploration of the way in which time seems to go faster as we age. A grandmother tells her story as the camera passes from the point of view of a little girl to the mother and then to the grandmother. The three characters simultaneously represent a matrilineage and a single woman at different points in her life. Based in part on James Main Kenney’s theory of LogTime. TRT = 8 min.
