Bloody Mess

S Y N O P S I S

BLOODY MESS is an exploration of our complex relationship with screen violence; how it can bring catharsis, escapism and empowerment as well as its destructive and seductive glamour. The film uses extremes of gesture and movement to create an uneasy blurring of boundaries between fantasy and reality. It is Director / Choreographer Alison Murray’s second film for Dance for the Camera.
