Bermuda International Film Festival 2009

Cindy Sherman is a well-known Contemporary Artist whose art primarily focuses on photographing herself in a series of different self-constructed persona of women that exist in film, magazine and history. Her work becomes a deconstruction of stereotypical public identities in the gaze of her audience - layers of identities one can strip off and put back on. The documentary is about Paul H-Q’s ‘Cinderella’-like encounter with Sherman and his consequent identity struggle. He loses his existing identity along with ‘the shoe’ during his relationship and fails to reinvent one that is compatible to Cindy’s celebrity’ existence. The documentary gives an authentic portrayal of New York contemporary art scene along with Sherman’s work and the cou-ple’s relationship.
