😢 Empath
Dir. Alec Moeller
This idea of empathy as a vehicle for narcissism becomes the centerpiece of this darkly satirical comedy from filmmaker Alec Moeller. The short is an uncanny mélange of the surreal and naturalism: a sort of Charlie Kaufman-esque dive into the human psyche as it tries to probe this idea of “excessive feeling” and what that means in the current socio political landscape. - S/W Curator, Ivan Kander
