Alchemy and Other Imperfections
A dark fable about a Man and Woman who have become hermits in their own marriage, until the Woman takes one last desperate measure to erase the pesky memory that ruined their lives. /
With a set made entirely out of cardboard, a complete lack of dialogue, and a beautiful score by Balkan musical sensation Orkestar Slivovica, Zachary Rothman's darkly comic fable is one of the most original and anticipated films of 2012. /
Winner of Vancouver's prestigious Crazy 8s Film Contest, Alchemy was filmed, edited and completed in only 8 days --an astounding achievement for such a lushly photographed, intricately crafted film. /
