What it’s about. A woman dances and mimes, her stark white image moves across a red floor, reflected in a fractured wall of mirrors. As she performs, her mirror image gradually assumes an autonomous identity so that what was a central relationship of self to self has become one self to other. Focii not only explores the construction of self, and the dynamics of self and other, but also the interaction between the viewer’s body and the body onscreen, raising questions on the nature of identification in cinema.

Who’s in it. Focii stars Maggi Tanguey and Lola Johnson.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, Focii has proved divisive with audiences.
