The Big Apple Short Film Collection

 

Black and White

Black and White from Big Apple Film Festival on Vimeo.

Black and White is a short film inspired by the distinct style of storytelling most often associated with film noir. The work employs classic visual and audio elements used in film noir to create drama and suspense. While classic film noirs typically focus on crime fiction, Black and White is an abstract fiction. The work implies narratives that take place out of our visual frame. Ultimately visual illusion collapses into gritty reality.
