Contradiction

Through Sharon’s partly autobiographical film ‘Contradiction’ she explores the experience of twin identities in our Western individualistic society. How are twins perceived by singletons and how do twins perceive themselves? What are misconceptions or stereotypes of twins? How is twinship both a blessing and a curse? She also asks herself: Do I see myself as a fully formed individual person or will my twin always be a part of me? Who am I, if not a twin?

‘Contradiction’ offers a unique journey through various scenarios and experiences, reflecting both the lives of twins and her own personal story. Using the whimsical and dynamic medium of stop-motion animation, the film adds a touch of humor to its narrative, so don’t be weirded out if you suddenly spot a real beetle crawing through a Jarmusch style coffeeshop…
