Bark

Amanda Kramer | USA | 2016 | 11' |

| IFFR 2022

In a beautifully decorated house, an exasperating passive-aggressive dialogue – full of mindfucks – between two teenage girls culminates in a disquieting physical event. This is how to get a dog barking. Compared with Kramer’s later, more stylised work, her first short is shot in a strikingly straightforward way. The tone, despite its seductive rose pink hue, is just as unsettling below the surface, as in the rest of her oeuvre.
