Firefly

A film by Connie Beeson

With Carrie Mae Weems

optical sound

In a tiny, sunny courtyard, the camera looks down on a nude woman as she dances. The complete film is done in double exposure, the woman is always dancing with herself. At times, she is only a second ahead of her ghost, and their bodies almost align. At others, their two bodies stand apart and take over the whole space. Music plays quietly. The footage is high contrast.
