A dreamlike reverie folds the viewer into a hazy winterscape in Moses Sumney’s haunting equine-themed video for “Quarrel.” Partizan’s Allie Avital and Moses Sumney co-direct this gorgeously-shot seven-minute film, weaving an eerie tale that manages to be both soothing and unsettling.
Colorist Kaitlyn Battistelli delicately balances the silver-edged winter hues and golden earthly tones, earning high praise from Avital, who said: “Kaitlyn Battistelli at Electric Theatre Collective is one of the most exciting talented colorists out there and I feel so lucky to have her working on my projects, including Quarrel. She’s a true artist in the way she approaches film color, not unlike a painter or sculptor.”
Wild horses couldn’t drag us away.
