Description

MASQUERADE | SYNOPSIS

�Summertime� meets �Don�t Look Now�.

If you go chasing rabbits�

Menace in Venice � A woman looks for something unspecified in Venice. The vibe of ages emerges from the aging fabric
of a beautiful city. Travel broadens the mind so they say!

An unplanned journey into the unknown, a mirror world, a daymare. All is not as it once seemed, all is never as it seems.

What lurks Pip old chap?

��..visit peterthepainter on youtube to see it�

The film begins with a shot of an old movie poster in a shop window. Katharine Hepburn in �Summertime�.

We see a figure standing, waiting, first in a railway station, then in front of vague impressions of boats and gondolas � she is presumably newly arrived. A large advertising hoarding looms behind her first view of Venice.

We follow the figure as she walks along streets, sometimes in slow motion, sometimes just reflected in shop windows.

The figure begins to change shape � we see it split into two and even four, distorted, the face hidden by a mask. The camera approaches it from a distance, often down the length of a long passageway.

The clown-like costume worn by the figure, and the masks is a reminder of the tradition of The Carnival held annually in Venice.

A sense of fear and mystery is conveyed as the camera closes in on the figure � the mask looks scary and skull-like at times The suspense is heightened by the atmospheric music. We have the impression that nothing is what it seems.

There appears to be a conflict between the very old and the contemporary : the classic buildings and sculptures verses the newly-arrived tourist and the giant advertising hoardings.
At the end of the film we return from the hidden, unknown darkness of the narrow streets to the ordinariness of early-morning activity in the square.
