Firefly, 4 minutes, 1.33, 2006

A boy and a girl expose a quantity of film to a constellation of fireflies, creating a cameraless portrait of bioluminescence. What the world looks like to a firefly, from birth to death.

An entomological etymology: it is because of “Luciferose” that fireflies glow. Fickle, flickery creatures, fireflies are best left to trace their own compositions in time and on the space of film directly, which, when unfurled, releases their pulses and dances in a jungle of illuminated film tendrils.

This film is currently in dirtribution.
