... because Superglue is forever!!!

“Yesterday Salam Khamas, at the age of 93, married Mrs.Um Ahmed, at the tender age of 105, in the town of Basra, Iraq. It was sunny. The newly weds were both found dead in their honeymoon bed this morning. Mrs.Um Ahmed was still wearing her wedding dress.”

Reality and fiction, re-enactment and archival footage, trivialities and the meaning of life in a media saturated world, being experienced by a new generation of moving-image consumers. Based on a casting session in Los Angeles where children act out love scenes from films, advertising spots and YouTube videos, this short is a pilot version for a bigger project. The happy endings at the heart of this film project provide an ironical sketch of our overconsumption of images.
