Alibi (2010)
Quoting Maya Deren’s ‘At Land’, ‘The Savage Eye’ ‘Marnie’ ‘The Battle of Algiers’ ‘Naked Youth’ ‘The Buddha Collapsed out of Shame’ among other films, and a number of texts including Poe’s Israfel, Alibi is a nightmare journey into paranoia and sorrow, riffing on noirish dystopias and mashing up pop songs and poetry, sushi bars and the streets of Istanbul to create a bricolage of chaos and confusion, evoking psychological crime scenes and tortured thought. Shot on a phone Alibi mixes citation and documentation to create an oneiric emotional pessimism that is at once noir and cinephilic, akin to a audio-visual panic attack.
