3rd Degree

The film features a three-screen format that displays close-ups of an agitated match in front of a young woman's fearful expression. The soundtrack includes sounds of matches and warnings of a rattlesnake, punctuated by the phrase, "Listen, I will not speak."

Each screen presents layers of imagery, with the first showing the initial close-up, the second rephotographs the first, and the third rephotographs the second. This technique emphasizes the themes of vulnerability, intimidation, and the physical medium of film itself, as the images appear to burn and blur, reflecting both the fragility of the film and the human condition.

Collectors of experimental cinema or those interested in avant-garde film techniques may find this work significant due to its unique presentation and thematic depth.
