I saw this last night as part of the 'Severed Limbs' film festival, at which our own short film was also playing.
Aracne is a mood piece that is all imagery, music, and artistic expression. The narrative, such as it is, depicts a woman/creature preparing two corpses in the manner of a spider.
This sparse, four minute film really connected with me - it's how I like my art: a dark edge, but nothing too obvious, with elements of elegiac beauty, and a theme that is consistent throughout, but open to interpretation.
The music here deserves special mention, as it fits with and enhances the imagery perfectly. I can't imagine the imagery without the music, and vice versa.
I'd love to see the director's other short film, having watched this one.
