PENELOPE / IN THE SCENERY / REFLECTING / RELATIONS
A theoretical comedy

by Michaela SCHWENTNER
2013-2015 / 4K / color-b&w / sound / Inst. / 18' 45

The short film shows two women sitting in the backdrop of a film set. It is not clear whether they are acting or waiting for their appearance, trying to kill time by telling stories and reflecting on film-immanent matters.
On one hand Penelope is knotting and interweaving fragments of her own love stories, on the other hand she is reflecting on film, acting and narration per se by retelling stories and by reenacting several iconic film scenes.
