Description 'With love songs ringin in our ears and after-images of great screen lovers burining on our retinas, we four people (two men and two women) obsessively committed to the Game of Love'

We laugh or cry and catch our breath as the smallest gesture ? a glance or a turn of the head ? reveals that the story has changed, is in fact continually changing.' [source unknown]

"Slow Love is spiral rather than lineal. The action is rigorously scored and structured as a series of displaced sequences, past present and future. Breaks the traditional idea of the narrative of a love story ... repetition ... develop an idea ... love then change ... another possibility ... first love was part of the separation of mankind from the apes ... rapid montage ... screaming for love ... cinematic ... well-made love story ... assimilate offcuts" [flyer]
