review by Adam Zeller
This film continues Huertas' exploration of camera quasi-documentaries. In this one, a hypnotist works with a friend of Erin, a student who has been missing for 11 years. As a session continues, the image mutates to TV "snow," while the audio becomes mixed with conflicting sounds. There is an eerie, almost pornographic (ideologically speaking) feel to the film. We sense that we are intruding and then censored for what appears to be a contrived situation that we are supposed to believe is real. We are kept on the edge between artifice and reality, and an uncomfortable edge it is.
