Body Snatcher

“Body Snatcher” takes Barbara Loden‘s film “Wanda” (1970) and its title character, that seemingly passively navigates the world and refuses to function as expected, as a staring point for an abstract and associative narration about emptiness, failure, and identity construction.

Conflating fragments from the film itself and new 16 mm material, a sort of parasitic science fiction remake of “Wanda” emerges - a layer of meaning that lies behind the film‘s plot and surface is imagined and constructed.
