Piaffe illustrates the erotics of the relationship between self and image during the process of identity formation. Eva, the protagonist, quite literally transforms into a horse girl, and we feel her confidence in this new embodiment. Finding her new form in her attempts to perfectly recreate the sounds of a horse, Eva shows the tenderness and emancipatory potential in the gesture of replication.
PIAFFE
2022 | Drama | 86min | Germany | German, English with English subtitles
Directed by ANN OREN
Written by ANN OREN and THAIS GUISASOLA
Shot on lush 16mm, Oscilloscope Laboratories presents PIAFFE, a visceral journey into control, gender and artifice.
Introverted and unqualified, Eva is unexpectedly tasked with foleying the sound for a commercial featuring a horse. As she slowly acclimated to the new job, her obsession with creating the perfect equine sounds grows into something more tangible. Eva harnesses this new physicality, becoming more confident and empowered, and lures an unassuming botanist into an intriguing game of submission.
