A Screen Test for an Adaptation of Giselle
Synopsis
A screen test for an adaptation of the ballet 'Giselle' as an ecofeminist thriller. Reimagined in a near-future, where Giselle and her friends have moved on from a failed metropolis to her mother’s rural village to “reset society”. An invasion of their successful community sets off a contamination of their new ecosystem with old power dynamics. Giselle’s death emerges as an investigation into mutability and multiplicity as a strategy for escape. (FIAC Brochure)
