Film Description:
A performance art-based narrative that deals with the reaction to actions in a closed environment in which everyday actions and reactions (some positive, some negative) are drawn by chance by performance artists who are required to perform their chosen action/reaction sequentially in a completely honest manner in the moment. Once the initial action/reaction sequence completed the artists are free to follow the instincts awakened by the situation they created or to stop. The resulting narrative is presented behind a thin textured veil hinting that it takes place in another dimension, in another state of consciousness. The use of a neutral, seemingly hand-coloured palette and a slow, methodical tempo reinforce this sensation.
BLIND FAITH is a dream-like, non-linear narrative composed of one complete chance-based performance session peppered with extracts from two other sessions. It documents the complexity of messaging between two people, the interpretation of non-verbal communication and the difficulties inherent in reading messages that are not clearly articulated.
