Self-portrait
Self-portrait is a documentary film that attempts to poetically portray a life-drawing session. It is inspired by The Disciple of Oscar Wilde which challenges the preconception of narcissism. Without the constraint of any written script, the film preserves a natural state of interactions. The hand-held camera style mimics a quick, rough sketch. The drawing workshop serves as a platform that enables the participants to share each other’s perspectives. It highlights the creativity and the permutation of perception.
Angel Chen (Director)
The film was produced as part of LICA373 Transgressive Cinema module
