CAPTIVE
explores the themes of repression, confinement and escape. These themes
are expressed through the incorporation of grainy VHS footage shot in
Berlin at the time of the collapse of the Berlin Wall, hand-held camera
sequences shot in a maze-like forest and slices of footage composited
out of archival Cold War films. As the real historical Wall crumbles
under the blows of street hawkers and souvenir hunters, ghostly
specters from the past appear then dissolve back into the scratchy
surface of a long forgotten newsreel.
