What is Distancing about?
Transparency, objectivity, focus and illusion are the main concerns of this film. Shot from the interior of a room from which can be seen a plant, a person’s head, raindrops on the window, houses, the sea and the horizon. The point of focus and the film’s exposure are continually changed and are set into flux with each other while simultaneously the image is superimposed onto itself allowing even the slightest difference between sequences (of time and image) noticeable, bringing into question the very act and accuracy of cinematic depiction. The film reflects a distinct United Kingdom style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Rob Gawthrop. With a runtime of 15 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
