TRAUMA is an ambitious short film project, as much an exploration of the filmmaking process as the resulting 5-minute fiction.
The film is set in a dystopian future, with visuals inspired by soviet realist propaganda. It tells the story of the brutal initiation of a young boy into the adult world.
While the end result will be impressive in itself, our interest is also in the methods we will use to achieve it. Trauma will be shot on super 16mm film and edited on a 1960s steenbeck table. The design, costume, hair & make-up of the film will be of the 1950s. Not only each member of the cast of 50 people, but also each member of the crew will be dressed in work-clothes of the era. The project calls into question the way we work in the digital era. It asks what values and methods that existed in the analogue age should be kept as we move into a new era. The whole process will be documented in a making-of film and in a series of photographs taken using cameras of the era.
