CYCLE III
Dan Gianini 2 mins (UK, 2016)
Girl walks in a launderette. She starts loading the washing machine. Closes its door shut, sits and wait for its cycle to begin. Peculiar sounds come from different sources. The laundrette’s owner splashing the wet mop on the floor. Washing and drying machine knobs being twisted. Slowly, all these different sounds build into an uniform beat. She puts her old fashioned headphones on and falls into her daydream fantasy of disco lights and uncoordinated dancing. -
