• Fervour

On an awkward first date Josie is transported back to a dangerous direct action she participated in. The man opposite her looks exactly like her former accomplice, but he denies any knowledge of it. Is he lying? Is she projecting? This film uses avant-garde editing patterns and improvisation to realise the uncanny feelings of desire, nostalgia and political fervour which accompany direct action.
