Conflict

This film was made in an effort to illustrate briefly the parody of life as a series of conflicts For example the initial conflict between innocence and social convention as seen in the confusion of a child I have tried to project the subconscious conflictcontradictionof life and inevitable death Thus the film is in two movements as it were In the first a figure dressed in white to symbolise life moves through and explores a series of structures and objects In the second movement the figure is replaced by a figure in black who wanders back through the wreckage of the structures As death she controls life until they write into nothingness Elaine Shemilt
