I am currently completing the post-production of my stopmotion puppet-animated film animaScope - a 16mm film that has been a long time in the making.
animaScope is a surreal tale of power relations between humans and a humanimal dictator who maintains his power through an omnipresent panoptical gaze. The films of Jan Svankmajer and the Brother's Quay are key aesthetic influences, and the concept and storyline for this film was inspired by French philosopher, Michel Foucault's use of the panopticon as a metaphor for power relations.
This film was shot and edited several years ago, but the final stages of post-production were put on hold due to parenting commitments and budgetary restraints. I am seeking sponsors to assist me in completing the final stages, which include; tele-cine and the mastering of a digital soundtrack. As you will see from this blog, animaScope will be exhibited as part of a New Zealand exhibition in February next year, followed by international film festivals and academic conferences. Please contact me by email if you would like to/ are able to sponsor me to enable this film to be completed.
Filmography - Lisa Perrott
Highly Strung (1996)
A surreal psychodrama dance film featuring a child's relationship with a marionette puppet. Inspired by Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon, this 4 minute film explores multiple personalities, control, spontaneity and inhibition. Shot on 16mm film with a Bolex camera, this film incorporates sequences of stop-motion animation, pixillation, and projected imagery.
Cage (1996)
A short magical-realist film about an 11 year old boy's grief after burying his mother. As the boy comes to understand the loss of his mother, he forms an attachment with a dead bird. But reality is not what it seems in this surreal world where dreaming and waking become confused. This film was shot on 16mm film in the stunning hilltops of Raglan, New Zealand.
