White wash death watch (2015) [screening]

Jane Topping's film White Wash Death Watch (2015, 10 min) is screened as part of Scottish Competition 3: I'm Deranged at the Glasgow Short Film Festival 2016. White Wash Death Watch removes everything but shots of Glasgow, Scotland and Romy Schneider from Death Watch, reducing the film’s original duration from 117 minutes to less than ten. A snowy scene mimics and obscures the tenements, towers and gravestones of Glasgow as we watch Katherine/Romy attempt to escape the city and the camera lens for the imagined seclusion of the coast and the sea. White Wash Death Watch is an homage to a woman and a city.
