Description

There were three brides, and they all married at different times to different people in different places. They came from similar backgrounds and lived in the same general area, but circumstances had led them down parallel - never to cross - paths. One night, however, they all shared the same dreams…

“This tour-de-force from UK Exploding Cinema’s Paul Tarragó is a film in six parts as it chronicles the good and bad dreams of an otherwise indifferent night. Its experimental narrative is as straightforward as it is complex: incorporating stories, science demonstrations and a failing matinee hero.”

About Paul Tarragó

Paul Tarragó is a filmmaker, using both video and celluloid, living in London. His work? A mix of underground experimentation and metafiction, tugging at the leash of film language but with narrative often held close at hand.

His work has shown widely on film festival and gallery circuits (International Film Festival Rotterdam, NYUFF, EMAF, National Review of Live Art, Triangle France, Kino der Kunst), and includes several award winning experimental narratives, video installation, a collaborative feature film, cinematic sketchbooks, moving image + live soundtrack performance work, etc.

A formative influence on his DIY approach comes from his experiences (from 1993-2006) as a core member and activist with the Exploding Cinema: a collective dedicated to originating alternative methods of exhibition for low-budget/artists' film and video and related performance.
