Synopsis

'I am the dreamer, the redhead, I search for hidden treasure: which fragment would yield the gold, which memory would haunt forever?' 'I am the investigator, I watch, I record, I collect evidence: little men who get rich quick, this wilful heritage, this aching land.' 'I am the fool, the hothead, distracted, temporarily unavailable: in love, out of love, searching for love.' Three women, stangers to each other, yet their lives seem inexplicably linked. Shadow Panic is a short experimental film about internal and external states of emergency, about personal and collective shadows, about resistance and spirit.
