What is Iris about?
IRIS is a short experimental film that uses found 16mm footage, original tape loops, and vintage recordings to explore attention, suspension, and the slippage between language, music, and aural phantoms – all focused outside of the boundaries of the recommended range. In early cinema the iris shot was used to gradually begin or end a scene and to focus audiences' attention on something of importance in the shot; it mimics the opening and closing iris in the human eye. The story is brought to life by director Sheri Wills. With a runtime of 9 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
