RESTRAINT FILM from Colleen Allen on Vimeo.

A collection of performances garments, and objects by Colleen Allen. Cinematography by Tanner Abel, audio by Tara Shanahan, Featuring William Stautberg, Directed by Colleen Allen.

This film was originally presented in Parsons the New School For Design on two separate projectors within an installation space. Here, the film is presented as a single split frame in order to translate this form of presentation into the 2D internet experience.

A story of one person who is taken from earth by an exterior being, split into two, and brought back to live their lives as two separate people. They explore restraint in all forms, and experience the contrast of industrial vs natural in their new reality. They hope that by restraining themselves they can begin to feel human again.
