Random Acts

Confronted by Candid: Embodied in blonde hair, blue eyes and slender tones. In your face, open- open legs, but frank. She speaks, an anecdotal drone that is compelling. Open, outspoken and upfront about her experiences, about life, about her body, about her father; in the bathroom, frying fish fingers, with the pig.

A short abstract film featuring a young woman (Louisa Harvey), doing everyday things in a not very everyday way. A mixture of sexually orientated visuals and subject matter are a constant presence. The bold and intense series of images- observe, lead you very close in, humour and unnerve the audience. It’s dark but it’s light all in the same breath, it purely depends how you take it.

Random Acts in fact, contains real life anecdotes provided and delivered by the subject (Harvey), that can only be described as an honest portrait of a young woman, naive but informed, presented and abstracted in the frame of the film.
