Eye Reels

Eye Reels — Plot

"An entangled meld of Celtic-flavored abstractions, home movies and an Irish dance fest that was edited throughout with those very moves in mind. Quick shots and dense patterning within the film echos that found in embroidery, lace, stone and metal work — all of which grows out of the very language; both in sound and calligraphic look. This tapestry-like interweave becomes the persistent edit of Eye Reels. (The film is dedicated in memory of my maternal grandmother, Winifred Egan).” (J.B.)
