This Movie synopsis: Welcome to GIVING BIRTH TO A BUTTERFLY, the strange, melodic and haunting feature debut of Theodore Schaefer. After having her identity stolen, Diana (Annie Parisse) goes on a surreal road trip with her son’s pregnant girlfriend, Marlene (Gus Birney), to find the perpetrators. Shot on soft, pastel-toned 16mm, the film’s dreamy quality lulls you into its unusual atmosphere. As the lines between waking and dreaming life fade, the movie blends ironic, detached humour with a unique blend of American surrealism that explores, by way of kitsch and performance, a deep sense of alienation and loneliness. By destabilizing familiar tropes and actions, the film gets under your skin, and long after the credits roll, you’ll find yourself pulled back into its fantasy otherness like the tide pulling you out to sea.
