Overview
Concrete Playground is proud to present Trilogy as part of this year's Sydney Underground Film Festival.
One way to respond to an entertainment phenomenon like Star Wars is to go for the throat, three times. Trilogy, a film by the interdisciplinary artist Kostas Seremetis, takes all the operatic action, humanoid life-forms, intergalactic futurism and helicoid rivalry of the Force, collaging and cutting the images to produce a cinematic experience of excess and spectacle.
The actual facts of the film are as follows: arranged as a salad of sight and sound, Seremetis has siphoned the images from the Star Wars trilogy, displacing the action across three screens. Look to the left and you'll see a scene from first Star Wars, look to the middle and you'll find Empire Strikes Back and, glance to the right, sure enough, Return of the Jedi. This remodelled vision of the franchise asks us to question our normal visual experience with the moving image, offering a spliced and fractured account of this epic legacy that perches half-way between abstraction and pop.
