Split

Inanna, a young actress working as a stripper, becomes obsessed with a mask maker. In order to win his love she enters a mythic journey in the theater, one that blurs her performance, her dreams and her real life, resulting in a provocative and powerful confrontation that frees her. Director Deborah Kampmeier (VIRGIN, HOUNDDOG), is a provocateur, but with a purpose; she uses experimental forms not for show, but to explore issues for which more traditional narratives would be inadequate. SPLiT is a powerful meditation on the traumas women face, and the struggle to overcome them. (Sarasota Film Festival)
