In the early ‘90s, a 14-year-old girl and boy mysteriously switch bodies and spend the rest of their lives haunted by the event. “emotion 93,” directed by Oz Davidson, is a singular experimental film about identity, memory, and transience. A mixed-format collection of paraphernalia from 1993 — drawings of Garth Brooks, Simpsons dolls, Nintendo cartridges — provide the foundation for a profound meditation on consciousness and transcendence. Davidson is on to something unique here, pondering the mysteries of life with precise insight into how we define ourselves, and what we’re aiming to uncover. Directed by Oz Davidson.
