Burning, Burning
Karyn Dwyer Synopsis A full length feature film of 85 minute length, with a total cast of 7, shot in black and white in various locations all around the city of Toronto. A Woman is first seen seated on a bench in a park in a state of deep trauma. She decides to take a final walk across the city to the edge of town. Along the way, she visits her favourite places that have had special meaning for her, leaving behind a written line or two of a poem. The journey of this troubled woman slowly becomes very unreal as her disturbed mind gives vent to all kinds of surreal hallucinations and conversations with imaginary characters, who are guiding her through this journey of despair. She flashes back to the unhappy incidents in her life that have brought her to this present state of emptiness. She feels responsible for wrecking her past state of marital contentment, with a reckless affair that resulted in the loss of her loved one. This journey is also one of self abuse as she decides to sell herself to strangers as she walks across the city, always getting rid of the money, which she never keeps. This film like A Trip To The Island, is once again, a continued exploration of the theme of the real and the imagined and the story is explored in a non linear fashion and in a very visual style, recreating and referencing along the way imagery from well known paintings.
