Blackout
Blackout is a film about time: specifically, the loss of time as experienced by a recently sober, 23 year-old person. The anonymous narrator of the film discusses her history of experiencing blackouts through drinking; covering a five-year time period that culminated in an entire three-day time-loss, her last bender. She also discusses levels of sobriety and her desire to continue to explore various recreational drugs. The narrator declares her intention to live her life alcohol-free, while simultaneously not wanting her identity to be defined through her problematic relationship with alcohol. The narrative is open, stark and direct: a dark insight, flecked with humor. Visually, the work stutters through black moments, punctuated by originally recorded, hand-processed 16mm color film, deploying multiple exposure and other in-camera, experimental techniques.
