For the Plasma
For the Plasma begins in a remote house on the coast of Maine where a young woman named Helen has found work as a forestfire lookout responsible for monitoring the nearby woodland While analyzing CCTV footage of the surrounding forest she discovers she can reconfigure her perception to predict shifts in global financial markets But when her inquisitive and demanding friend Charlie arrives at the house Helen finds herself challenged and unsettled by her new colleague and the two girls relationship begins to unravel From this cryptic premise grows a lofi mindbender of intimate scale and startling relevance that flirts with scifi and horror conventions even as it subverts them To the strains of an electronic score For the Plasma juxtaposes pastoral imagery with surveillance technology every shade and shadow captured in gorgeous 16mm
