‘Stiletto’ by Adam Roberts

The third in the ‘Filmarmalade Presents Lil Joe’s, 9/11, Porn, Yanks and Murder…’ series of artist film and video screenings at IMT.

Adam Roberts’ ‘Stiletto’, enacts a few moments in the life of a young orphaned boy who restlessly wiles away the time in the suburban idyll of his aunt’s unloving home. Haunted by self-doubt and loathing for all that surrounds him, he creates through a series of ritualistic offerings, an animal deity, which he keeps caged in a shed at the bottom of the garden and whose existence ultimately leads to a horrific finale.

The screening also includes an interview, specially commissioned with Adam Roberts at Gordon Shrigley’s studio with Miranda Pennell and Jonathan Romney.
