Spyder

Spyder, – ‘Spy’ with a connotation of secret agent, not a suggestion of the homonymous insect-, is a young woman with a vagabond soul. She lives her life as if she is part of a flood pouring out from space. She experiences diverse levels of reality, between heaven and hell, ecstasy and horror, discovering the world of cinema and her first love. She strives to realize the dream to have her own house, an incarnation of the memories of her lost childhood. However, the distortion of reality is a part of her troubled personality, though it has nothing to do with drugs. But for her, the world that surrounds us all begins to become a sort of nightmare. The reasons for this are manifold, including the problems of modernity…
In 2007, Ishibashi Kiyomi shot her first film with a mobile phone. Silent Scream was a mix of documentary and fiction, and was presented at Pocket Films Festival, organized by the Forum des Images in Paris. With Spyder Ishibashi joins the handful of film makers who realised an entire feature film with footage exclusively shot with the mobile phone.
