The Protagonists (2019)

Release Date: 2019-01-25
Runtime: 0h 8min
Production Country: Canada
Director: Gabi Dao

Playfully collapsing the space between Hollywood Cinema and what Dao refers to as 'Domestic Cinema', The Protagonists explores relationships between representation and reality. Motifs of a clumsy animatronic hand, colorful smoke bombs, a backyard garden and a metronome become characters – protagonists, so to speak – in the deconstruction of filmic colonisation.
