NOWNESShave launched an open call for their Shorts on Sunday series which premieres experimental work from emerging filmmakers and paired the announcement withWaterpark, the directorial debut fromcinematographer Evan Prosofsky, whose previous credits include music videos by Grizzly Bear, Bat For Lashes, Grimes, and Toro y Moi. The nearly 17-minute short offers a meditative look at World Waterpark, one of the world's largest indoor water attractions (which also happens to be located inside the largest shopping mall in North America: Alberta, Canada's West Edmonton Mall), and features a score composed byexperimental soundman Alex Zhang Hungtai, a.k.a. Dirty Beaches. <\/p>\n
Prosofsky's Waterpark drifts at a slow pace more lazy river inner-tube lounge than high-speed water slide death-drop and Dirty Beaches' blinking, ambient soundtrack lends the piece an alien quality; something as common as mundane as watching a girl eat French fries at a mall food court suddenly feels like a clinical look at convenience and consumerism in the lonesome, crowded West. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
