Altered States
Altered States
2010, S16mm film transferred to HDCam and Blu-ray 3'18 Loop Stereo Sound
Altered States

Written & directed by Hannaleena Heiska / Cinematographer Anu Keränen / Performer Anne Hiekkaranta / Music Tuomas Laitinen / Violin Kea Nuorivaara Editing Oskar Franzén & Hannaleena Heiska / Camera Assistant Sari Aaltonen

Work has been supported by: AVEK (The Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture) and The Finnish Cultural Foundation.

A loop inspired by music videos and drone doom music aiming at painterly expression. It´s theme is the human-animal relationship and what it is like to be something else or other. It was shot in the rocky hills behind the local amusement park and the masked animals or humans are borrowed from my recent paintings. The main characters mask of splintered mirror is opaque and reflecting light, but occasionally also the surrounding city that is otherwise absent. The name pays hommage to Ken Russell´s psychedelic sci-fi film.
