No Anteriority

Directed by Alan Martín Segal

Ghosts make the past writable, organizing the gaps in personal history. In this light, ghost stories can be funny, tender, or even romantic, rather than purely horror. In No Anteriority, ghostly matter appears as a humid vapor, sometimes taking the form of a greenish lucidity. The shadows of the dry cleaner become a site of discovery, and the hand applying drops of product onto fabric offers a clue: outside our perception, even stains don’t exist.
