Portrait
This silent 9 minute film is like a 'pointillist painting' come to life - where grainy shapes reveal themselves to be part of a visual jigsaw puzzle - an assembly over time - and where the film-maker's daughter serves to be the subject of this painting in time. Razutis uses re-photography and camera movements that mimick the eye's 'saccadic eye movement' in revealing the visual sequence and interaction between daughter and father. The revelation is conducted over repeating sequences whose content is 'sampled' as if in the construction of a memory as puzzle.
