Repurposing techniques such as spoken word, ASCII art and coding, the protagonist in this film navigates his own conflicted, chaotic memories. While he lets his imagination roam freely, the film unfolds through a series of vignettes. With Line of Sight, Ali Eslami manages to find a new way to articulate our inner realm and explore a displaced and fragmented sense of self. The result is as playful as it is frightening.
