Abigail, a Film About Liminality
I’ve been reading quite a bit about liminal spaces as they relate to cyberpunk. I’ve also been thinking about how few films capture what might be termed a cyberpunk aesthetic. That’s why the short film “Abigail” by filmmaker Emily Yoshida caught me off-guard since, to judge from the trailer, it encapsulates the idea of liminality with a futuristic feel that also reminds me of what films like Johnny Mnemonic and Code 46 perhaps should have been.
It shouldn’t be surprising considering that she cites Bladerunner as an influence and I hope I’m able to see the film at some point.
