Ponytail follows several inflicted characters viagra generic 100mg and recounts the ways in which they find resolve. A series of scenarios held together by an attraction to failure and its spectacle describe the characters’ malfunction – their inability to fulfill personal desire.

Ponytail presents a unique society of characters that employ elements of melodrama, performative monologue and traditional narrative structure.“The unnervingly seductive videos of Vancouver-based artist and animator Barry Doupé blend painterly skill with the look of early 3D video games in gothic dreamscapes, at once familiar and forever out of reach.” (programme note, Gene Siskel Film Center, Chicago)
