Eros O Basileus

Structured in nine tableaux each a study of a simple action or situation involving a lone naked figure the blind Eros searching for fulfilment for self The objects he touches books paintings can be seen as icons of the creative spirit there is also a motor cycle and film equipment In succeeding scenes he appears to try on identities offered by institutional doctrines of religion and social traditions of overt masculinity Much of the film was constructed incamera with a small amount of editing afterwards An innovation was the use of incamera fadeouts as phrase markers not as terminal points within a single setup or shot
