The lead role of CLARA has been cast for an artistic short film project with the character of a music video (music video on 16 mm film). The film is a quiet, visually narrated character study about withdrawal, self-awareness and slowly rediscovering one's own impulses. The narrative has little dialog and works strongly with the body, glances and pauses.
The project combines personal experience with a fictional level. The handling of sensitive topics is respectful and clearly agreed. Filming takes place in indoor and outdoor spaces (including indoor swimming pools, living spaces, gardens, nature).
Contact: Marcel
CLARA is an introverted, observant character. She reacts strongly to her surroundings and holds back her emotions in a controlled manner. Her inner tension is mainly manifested physically. Over the course of the movie, she begins to carefully release this control.
