Allan Brown at IFFR

  • Dreamland

    Layers, lag and loops hypnotise the viewer visually, as an unknown and faraway voice draws alien lines between Canada and Serbia.

  • Square Dance Hypnotist

    Disorienting repetition of a section of square dance visualises alienation and the urge to flee and drives the audience crazy.
