Spellbound, 16' 2002           Spellbound 16’ 2002 Digi Beta A businesswoman in suit is precariously searching for loneliness high up on an abandoned crane. She opens her bag and throws down it’s content; a calculator, an organizer, papers, a burnt rice pan and male underwear flies trough the air. A wandering tramp, curious about the businesswoman, decides to play a game with her. The mysterious game leads the tramp and the businesswoman to an exhausting and dangerous fantasy world where hands have a life of their own and where crawling backwards leads to gold. Hidden in a container as the sunsets they finally look each other in the eyes. cast Ellen Kilsgaard & Marianne Langenegger script & director Mandra Wabäck production Joost Meijer & Mandra Wabäck director of photography Joost Meijer sound recordist Gideon Bijlsma editing Katarina Türler first assistant Jiske Reeskamp script continuity Barbara Rokvem catering Thomas Bonekamp sound design Reiner Kurpershoek / www.SOUNDFORCES.com sound design & mixage Jan Schermer POSTA studio color corrections and titles Shosho this production was supported by Het practicum generale fonds, Mama Cash, Location support, NDSM, NFTA many thanks to Jaap Praamstra, Hans Mulder screenings première nov 2002 Festival Skipper, The Netherlands
