A girl is trapped in a box – or, is she? This 16mm/HD, surrealist short follows Luna as she listlessly travels through different environments, trying to find a way out of ‘the box’ in which she is trapped. However, this dreamlike journey takes the girl in a circle, one door simply leading to another – does she truly find her way out?
The experimental 16mm film/HDV short ‘The Box’ is a silent film featuring original music by Geena Matuson and works of John Cage. All double-exposure for this film was done in-camera.
