Director Statement

Bilateral Symmetry is composed almost entirely in chiaroscuro: figures surfacing from near-total darkness under a single, rationed light — turned away, hooded, half-dissolved in shadow, each face withheld as much as it is revealed. That darkness is also the film's subject, a study in confusion and sorrow, in the sense of being lost in a world at once familiar and terribly unknown.
