CATHERINE – DIRECTED BY ROMY NORTHOVER

CATHERINE (1:32)
Created by Romy Northover
Special Thanks to Maxim Northover
SYNOPSIS
Catherine (1:32) was created by Romy Northover. The film was made using footage from YouTube to emphasize society’s fixation of other people’s lives on the Internet. The footage is reduced and removed from its original, like a worn out and re-played video tape of an obsessive scopophiliac. We are introduced to “Catherine” as she reveals intimate details to the fixated viewer, yet left wanting to know more.
