liminal drift screenings

Presented in the context of Plasticity/Desires by Other Animals, co-presented with La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines from January 18th to 27th.

Set in a variety of visually stimulating environments, Other Animal’s first film Liminal Drift follows a series of abstract characters as they move through natural or artificial landscapes. In these playfully ambiguous moments, the viewer is invited to witness the embodiment of fleeting conscious states that teeter on the edge between attention to the outside world and the inner imaginary fantasies that are induced.
