the palaver transcription

the palaver transcription (2000) is a feature film. Top cast includes Jennifer Chalmers and Gad Hollander. The plot follows a central conflict that grows in scope as the film progresses.

Actor: Jennifer Chalmers

Internal monologue of the presumed narrator is externalised in the corpse of a suicide, addressing his own self, whose stories obsessively revolve around his sensual desires: to touch, to speak. In a series of anecdotes we glimpse the life of a solitary figure, a writer whose overwhelming desire – to see through a voice – remains unquenched, and whose perspective on that desire ("I open the window I confront the sky") is through death.
