Filmed across the state of Victoria in between Melbourne’s COVID-19 lockdowns, ‘Everything Gone’ is an exploration of different forms of longing, and how we fill the void of what it is we’re yearning for. Traversing the intersection of isolated intimacy and trauma, the film was created as part of ‘Deep End;’ an ongoing visual series and collaboration between filmmaker and composer Emily Dynes and choreographer Sian Kelly utilising movement and original music. Each of the twelve vignettes highlights a unique response and coping mechanism to our collective feeling of loss during this time; whether we’re glued to the news, pouring our energies into caring for another, drinking heavily, overexercising, relying on routine or numbing ourselves of anything at all.
Created with all-female heads of department, ‘Everything Gone’ is produced by Annabel Clayton and shot by cinematographer Hannah Sinagra.
