Synopsis
Why are you so sad? is a Super 8 hand-processed film. This collage of textures, loops, and rhythms is an exploration of self. The footae of a walk in downtown Winnipeg during winter, of trees, a bridge, and traffic is mixed with clips where the chemical was left on the film. These organic shapes of the chemical resemble internal organs and bones. When slowed down, they mimic a journey through the inside of a body. This triggered questions of internal thoughts and emotions. The constant rhythms of the projector sounds which in slow motion are similar to a heart beating build and change as the viewer is asked questions such as, 'What are you in love or something?', and are resolved with the statement, 'I want to take risks.'
