Interview with director behind experimental art dance film Beyond Desire | Film East

Film East's Editor-in-Chief Shelby Cooke gets you hyped for the 2023 Lowestoft Film Festival with unique interviews from the creative teams behind four of the festival's nominated films. In this final episode, Shelby chats with Vasilisa Forbes, director, writer and producer of Beyond Desire.
Beyond Desire is an experimental short about female desire, shame and betrayal. Drawing from a highly personal experience we follow a vulnerable young woman experiencing a breakdown via a collision of conflicting relationships and gender power struggles.
Using physicality, haunting sound design and immersive camera work as vessels for intimate, multi-layered and unerringly contemporary storytelling. Our lead finds herself on a repeating loop, the end is the start as she oscillates between what was and what is. Is she unable to escape her trauma and her psychological suffocation or patterning? The movement echoes the work of Pina Bausch, and in doing so draws links to the expression of the feminist landscape of emotion and conflict that we continue to work through.
Beyond Desire is a nominated film at Lowestoft and is screening on Saturday, 21 October as part of the Bodies and Relationships strand.
