Exhibiton format: video

Synopsis:  A split-frame collage of Super 8 footage pans and mirrors decaying tree trunks scattered along British Columbia’s shoreline.

Pixie Cram’s Bones is a mesmerizing and carefully articulated examination of timeless decay in the natural world. Images of long dead organic relics are stacked, sorted, and compared to create a fluid narrative that washes over the audience. The haunting soundtrack resists true darkness, instead conveying a bittersweet nostalgia. Bones is a wonderful experimental film that gains further traction with repeat viewings.
