Mechanism

Directed by Eva Grant

Mechanism is an experimental film which features a single character transforming into four comedic archetypes, randomly generated from over 150 terms derived from genre film, fashion, queer camp, web culture, and pop psychology. Mechanism explores the ways in which laughter can be divorced from humour, particularly for those for whom laughter is both the only escape and the damning symptom of hysteria, malaise, and malevolence.
