The Stendhal Syndrome

Streaming video - 2020

An exploration of our interest in stars on the screen. Their images never grow old but we do. We can love them but they never love us back—until we force them to acknowledge our existence by putting ourselves in the same frames that they inhabit. And, even then, they live in a rarified world of their own which we can never enter, frozen forever—on the screen and in our imaginations.
