AMERICAN MIRROR: INTIMATIONS OF IMMORTALITY
Director: Arthur Balder
Runtime: 1 hour 1 minute

AMERICAN MIRROR: INTIMATIONS OF IMMORTALITY aims to expand our ordinary perception of time as the director introduces 'a documentary on the unconscious'. Balder lays out the dreamlike narratives of both the artist and his haunting muses. Through his presentation of the artist's self-unconscious suffering right at the beginning of the film, the director choses an artistic direction that he follows with unwavering determination, despite challenging the canons of nowadays 'conscious' documentary filmmaking until the last frame of the film.
