Antigone

Dean’s work is characterized by a sense of history time and place light quality and the essence of the film itself. In line with these themes the project will compose of a two-screen 35 mm film installation celebrating the quality and techniques of photochemical film. Derived from the origin of her own sister’s name Antigone takes its starting point from the undramatized part between two of Sophocles’ three Theban plays Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus whose mythological character Antigone guides her blind and lame father Oedipus through the wilderness. The film will underscore the importance of film experimentation and highlight the endeavor of film as a medium to find a form between art cinema and theater.
