Still Life
by Alexander Dinelaris
directed by Elizabeth Bove
Life. Death. Art. Redemption.
Still Life is an impressionistic piece that centers on a group of thirty-somethings in their quest to move beyond their own fears and disaffections.
Through a series of snapshots, we can begin to conceive a fractured portrait of the triumphs and despairs of the Generation called X.
