SPARK OF BEING Young Americans

Director Bill Morrison hos been a mainstay of the experimental film world for many years, but this is his first appearance at AFI FEST His previous works, including DECASIA, have played in festivals around the world, winning numerous awards and acclaim. With SPARK OF BEING, Morrison retells one of the cinema’s classic stories, Frankenstein, in his signature style, using found footage meticulously step printed and repurposed. Morrison’s mastery over celluloid allows him to odd layers of decoy and darkness to the screen, as well as the electric sparks which course through both Morrison’s post work and this timeless tale of man’s hubris. Crackling off the screen, SPARK OF BEING is a one-of-o-kind event for Los Angeles and AFI FEST.
