In the experimental short Dogman I, analog and digital AV equipment are woven together to portray a cryptozoological sighting. Created by sisters and artists Olivia Rose Barresi and Emily Barresi, Dogman I delves into the universal human fascination with the supernatural, and the blurred boundary between reality and fabrication. This first foray into the Dogman Universe explores the challenge of imbuing authenticity into the extraordinary and interrogates our faith in the moving image.
