Silent War

Caitlin Pike ‘29

I’m not entirely sure what the meaning behind this film is. While I can make guesses and draw inferences, I want it to be ambiguous, because even I don't know the meaning. The pain and discomfort I tried to express could resonate with many different situations. The various symbols throughout the film can also represent a range of things, depending on the viewer’s interpretation.

Originally, I planned for the film to be about feeling trapped in a toxic relationship. However, since it was late at night, things weren't going smoothly, and I had a deadline the next day, I ended up filming spontaneously. This is the result. My main hope is that the film evoked strong emotions in you.
