Sparklehorse

1999 · 9 min

A dreamlike, fragmented collage of images drifting to music, asking you to surrender to its rhythm rather than follow a story.

Overview
Shot on 16mm with a soundtrack by Sparklehorse. With "Sparklehorse", Gariné Torossian returns to the collage style of filmmaking explored in her earlier films, "Visions," "Girl From Moush," and "Drowning In Flames." "Sparklehorse" subtly conveys, with characteristic poetry, the ways in which people communicate with and value each other in a world of spiralling meditation. The film is divided into three distinct sections: "Happy Man," "Good Morning Spider" and "Hundreds of Sparrows."
