Synopsis
A woman fights in the night. Against who? Against what?
Carole Arcega has been practicing martial arts for many years (Tai-chi-chuan, Qi qong, kung-fu, French boxing, then yoga) and her cinema is imbued with this research into the body in movement. What is the “motor” in us, and how does it resonate with the machine-cinema? Energy flows and emulsion grain vibrations, martial choreography and subjective camera, heart rate and shooting rhythm, continuity of body with weapon and fist with camera, stick strikes and editing cut… the filmmaker dances with the warrior woman.
