Loves of a Cyclops (qui) è un progetto interattivo e crossmediale realizzato da Submarine Channel…
Just another short film about a modern-day one-eyed man with a strange vision, an experimental scientist, and a former child-star narrator of books on tape.
Intorno alla storia di Francis (il ciclope) narrata nel cortometraggio lo spettatore può liberamente navigare attraverso diversi testi, frammenti, opere e archivi: i nastri registrati degli esperimenti dello scienziato Bill Vernon su Francis, un geniale archivio di oggetti “ciclopici”, articoli, fotografie di Lina Rea Pearson, video… intorno a Francis viene creato un universo narrativo che si attiva solo quando l’utente attraversare secondo direzioni assolutamente personali…
Francis, a modern-day one-eyed man, has struggled his whole life to see the world the same way as the rest of us. His single eye perceives everything as constantly transforming shapes, creatures and colors we two-eyed humans can barely fathom.
Taken under the wing of Bill Vernon, an experimental scientist who believes Francis’s eye may hold the key to seeing multiple dimensions, and Lina Rae Pearson, a young woman who was once the most prolific narrator of books on tape, Francis seeks a place where he will be accepted for his bizarre vision of the world.
He becomes many things (an outlaw, a specimen, a speed dater, a UFO hoax, a messiah, an artist, an author and experimental musician) as he tries to find his place in the world, searching in vain for a group of people who will see him for his own true vision, and not just what they want to see in him.
