"French Words" short film by Heather Brown

Super 8 film footage conveys a certain frustration as an orange is mutilated through a struggle with tools that do not work. The piece was originally shot, inspired by a short, "Rilke Elegies," created by Audra Brandt. Kat Palardy, actress and performer, was asked to create and improvise a two minute monologue. Without any direction, she fabricated a recording of a voicemail message that was then translated into French and performed by Soline Marie.
