Jill Sands Trilogy

A woman recounts her disturbing connection to a murder, her matter-of-fact narration accompanied by surreal imagery and dark humor. Based on filmmaker Cecelia Condit's own experiences, this experimental short blurs the boundaries between everyday life and nightmare.

A musical horror story about two young women who are stalked through a shopping mall by a cannibal. He follows them home, and here the victims become the aggressors.

Invoking a biblical story of life coming from dry bones, Condit constructs an experimental narrative about an older woman’s confrontation with her own mortality after the death of her mother. The bone represents the promise of youth and hope—a promise jealously coveted by the young, but needed more by those grown old. Inverting cultural values, Condit represents feminine youth as a mannequin, and seeks humanity in the form of the older woman, who is reborn by overcoming her fear of death.
