Smother, the 26-minute film, is featured at Mary Boone Gallery. Bathed in
the atmosphere of 1980's Miami, the film explores violent and sometimes
twisted childhood nightmares through memories. The film, drifting between
real and hyper-real, follows an 11-year-old boy as he undergoes a series of
painful physical transformations that ultimately lead him to break the
adolescent bonds that bind him to his overbearing mother. Gispert wrote
the script with artist Orly Genger and collaborated on the soundtrack with
the Miami-based interdisciplinary bass experimentalist Phoenecia (Joshua
Kay & Romulo Del Castillo).
