Final Obscura at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, on Thursday 17 July. A new feature by James Fotopoulos, this silent film follows the transformations of a central female figure undergoes over a lifetime. Part of Phantoscope.
Phantoscope, Triskel’s quarterly experimental film event, is thrilled to present a recent feature by one of the most truly radical voices in contemporary film: James Fotopoulos. Praised by The Film Journal as “one of cinema’s most unique voices, a filmmaker of uncompromising vision” his work's unsettling quality has frequently been compared to Lynch’s ERASERHEAD. FINAL OBSCURA is no exception.
This silent film takes viewers on a mysterious journey through the transformations that a central female figure, Sonja, undergoes over a lifetime: the past, the present and future. It is distinguished by a uniquely painterly visual beauty that is sure to get under the skin.
