Verfremdungseffekt Trailer

Verfremdungseffekt is the latest short film from the Iowa Zoetrope inspired by Bertolt Brecht’s dramatic theory, Anthony Shaffer’s Sleuth, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Final Problem”. Set in Dorset, England in the mid 1970s, a reclusive actor named Orson (Stephen Haydon) confronts his harshest critic, Bertolt (Mark Klooster), by inviting him to his home whereupon, he intends to give the greatest performance of his life by casting the critic in a production of his own. But things are never as they seem and Orson proves that actors are some of the most emotionally unstable people in the world. What ensues is a battle of wits, chivalry, and recitals of Shakespearean dialogue. With an original screenplay by Stephen Haydon, Verfremdungseffekt is directed by longtime Iowa Zoetrope collaborators Kipp Paulsen and Stephen Haydon. Director of Photography: Kipp Paulsen. Sound: Lucas Moser. Verfremdungseffekt, which roughly translates to alienation (or estrangement) effect, is the idea behind Bertolt Brecht’s dramatic theory. Brecht wanted to "alienate" his audience from the characters and the action and render them observers who would not become involved in or to sympathize emotionally or to empathize by identifying individually with the characters psychologically; instead, he wanted the audience to understand intellectually the characters' situations and the wrongdoing producing these dilemmas exposed in his plots. Upon becoming "distanced" emotionally from the characters and the action, the audience could be able to reach an intellectual level of understanding; in theory, while alienated emotionally from the action and the characters, they would be empowered on an intellectual level to analyze and perhaps even to try to change the world, which was Brecht's social and political goal as a playwright and the driving force behind his dramaturgy.
