Casus

Director: Anthony Stadler

Year: 2007

While on a date a couple go for a bit of romance in a secluded spot in the woods. Things go horribly wrong when the man reveals that he is really a serial killer, and she is to be his victim. He delays her death to tell her that he is being forced to kill her, and that all the events from his first murder to his eventual capture and exaction is being repeated in a constant loop. Are these the ranting of a mad man taunting his victim or is there something supernatural at work?

Using ideas from Carl Jung - exploring and accepting the inner world, Carolyn Abbate - analysis of dissonance to find the narrative voice - and Hilde Lindemann Nelson - using narrative to repair damaged identity, I filmed my process of creating puppets and recorded some of the thoughts that arose as I made them. I utilised emergent practice in the filmmaking, which meant letting go of preconceived ideas to let narrative arise in the moment. I wanted my puppets to unite, rather than fight in the traditional Punch and Judy manner.

In 1970s London, Simran arrives at Heathrow Airport from Punjab to be married in two weeks. Dressed for the journey, she moves through the warmth and order of the terminal until she is quietly diverted into a secondary corridor. In a calm examination room, procedures are explained to her in a familiar language, framed as routine and voluntary. What follows is a polite, administrative process that determines her right to enter the country. When Simran is allowed to leave, the airport resumes its rhythm. Outside, her future husband waits. Life continues.
