My Amulet

Synopsis

Set among the beehives and high heels, fur stoles and Ford Zephyrs of 60's and 70's London suburbia, My Amulet offers a personal take on Anglo-Jewish identity. Combining handheld Super 8 with current digital video footage, the film delivers poet Leah Thorn's spin on assimilation, acculturation and ‘other such aggravation’.

Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science.
