Palmer

A man in underwear. The arms of an unseen person appear in the frame and pull his pants down, only to leave them hanging halfway. The same action is repeated a few times, with the piece of clothing riding further down with every take, creating a gentle suspense before the penis is bluntly revealed. Slotting into the strand of Friedl vom Gröller’s vast oeuvre that deals with sexuality in surprising ways, PALMER mischievously subverts normative expectations. The film is akin to taking part in a private joke—yet the lack of a clear punchline suggests other possible readings that go far beyond the mere deadpan. (Salvador Amores)

This film will be shown as part of the screening SHORT FILM PROGRAM 5: INCIDENCES.
