POINTS OF DEPARTURE – HARPY

video

2021

The film is based on Kalers solo performance “POD Hyphen” for which he invited artistic companions Jen Rosenblit (Text and direction PART TWO) and Stephane “Peeps” Moun (Choreography PART THREE) to choreograph for him and with him.

The opening video prologue with images of Ian Kaler and a falcon in the woods (Cinematography by Diara Sow) is inspired by the mythological figure of the harpy.

POINTS OF DEPARTURE creates a poetic juxtaposition (Editing Dafne Narvaez Berlfein) of the various footages and narrative threads and is accompanied by a mesmerizing electronic soundtrack by music producer rRoxymore alias Hermione Frank.
