Joy
UK 2008, 10 min
Joy is a story about a 17-year-old girl who has gone missing. The film is a police reconstruction of Joy’s last known movements in a local park. By the time the reconstruction is ended it is clear that the film is more than just a reconstruction of a teenager’s last movements but rather a meditation on the fragility of youth. - Together with Christine Molloy.
