Spark

Spark is an exploration of disintegration and unraveling over time. Nature cyclically descends into decay every autumn, and what begins orderly and measured in our lives eventually descends into chaos.

Dancer Alice Svetic choreographed her movements at 2.5x the final speed of the film. Her choreography - angular and jarring in real time - appears hypnotic and surreal at 40% of the original speed. The film was set against a smoldering, scarlet autumnal scene and was reduced to slow-motion in post-production.

The film was shot, edited, and the soundtrack composed and performed by director Elizabeth Wadium.
