Johnson

Directed by Rebecca Barten

Inspired by the pre-sexual fascination of girls with horses, a romantic incantation and interspecies love story of eternal structures of queer eros, transformation and technological control. As told by a narrator, Johnson is a horse who is the object of the ceaseless praise and unknowable desire of a dreamy silent performer. The movie is a collaged poetic narrative constructed of vintage video technology, miniature tableaux, eerie dreamscapes and pantomimic gestures.
