TitleNuns’ night outDate2004SubjectDance FilmDescription
An absurdist dance fantasy shot on Super 8. This film follows a flock of nuns ‘landed in the landscape’ in and around the historic village of Hill End. At the end of the day they make their way to the Royal Hall for a curious vaudeville show. Through the surreal vignettes the veil of propriety is slowly removed to reveal dark currents of sensuality, ribaldry and untameable desire. Filmed on location during “The Nuns’ Picnic” performance project, Dec 2004.
