After Locarno Film Festival last summer, Ann Oren is at the 36th Bolzano Film Festival for the Italian premiere of her first feature film, Piaffe. Based on a short film, Passage, Piaffe is also an homage to Foley artistry. As it is, in a way, also a coming of age following its protagonist Eva, Piaffe doesn’t follow the usual character’s arch, instead, tries to follow the narrative of life.
Piaffe: When her sibling Zara suffers a nervous breakdown, the introvert Eva is forced to take on Zara’s job as a Foley artist. She struggles to create sounds for a commercial featuring a horse, and then a horsetail starts growing out of her body. Empowered by her tail, she lures a botanist into an affair through a game of submission. Piaffe is a visceral journey into control, gender, and artifice.
