Out of Frame, 2020, United States, 2 min
Directed by Madison Plummer
Choreography and dancing by Madison Plummer
Featuring MadPlum Movement
Music composed by Liminal - Brambles Remix
Cinematography by Madison Plummer
What does it feel like to be caught between holding on and letting go? Out of Frame is a window into uncertainty. The film is paired with a photo series titled Goldilocks, which explores child-like wonder in an abandoned factory and grapples with the same desire to move forward without completely letting go of your past.
Out of Frame was a one-woman project. All the shots were locked down and framed up so that I could climb the wall trusting that I would capture my intended image. But there's a little bit of experimentation in every project, a little bit of uncertainty, and until I was in the editing suite, I didn't know exactly what I had. In truth, it took until the end of the piece for me to truly feel grounded.

Suddenly with no warning we were prisoners in our homes restricted to walk no further than 100 meters from our front doors. The count of ill and dead began, and it increases every day. We are globally under siege of the corona epidemic.
I am dancing on the roof. Up there under the sky, where open landscape view meets the hard cement, birds fly freely. I try to fly with them, restricted by the banister that prevents me from falling. I am counting from 1 to 100. My voice dictates the flow and rhythm. My movements are limited to 100, it ends there.

Locate (v)* - 1. to pinpoint thoughts to geographical origins; to unearth memory inside the intricate map of the creative intelligence; to discover the moments where these inner spaces co-join, collide, coincide; to uncover the spaciousness of a place inside the mini-ness of its coordinates; to find the microscopic cinema theater inside the worlds no one can see. - 2. to situate a notebook with sand and torn blades of grass beside the words not yet written; to place a word-ticket in the whirling, flipping, collapsing. fingertips of improvisation; to position a moving part in front of a nostalgic camera; to site a sentimental topography that infinitely haunts its navigators; to found a garden…traveling through the preciousness of the young, the deepness of the curious, and the overgrown paths of the questions they ask.
