An unfaithful remake of Man Ray’s 1926 'Emak Bakia' made with out the use of a motion picture camera, ELONA EM EVAEL/LEAVE ME ALONE is a nonsensical response to brutality alongside a celebration of silver process. Whereas Man Ray alluded to death with a rending of collars (a funereal tradition in many cultures including Ray’s, Judaism) , ELONA EM EVAEL/LEAVE ME ALONE chooses from a surplus of tragedies the recent Amnesty Internationals Report “Will I be Next?” on US drone strikes in Pakistan and a list of the 101 children killed by them as of April 2015. Juxtaposed with footage of the filmmakers young sons (standing in for Ray’s muse and mistress Kiki of Montparnasse) the film obliquely points to the privilege inherent in the banal peacefulness of my family’s everyday life. The film is black and white hand printed and processed. It should be played at 24fps with the soundtrack provided by the image. It can be presented as a two projector “stereo” film or a single strand positive or negative mono film.
