After screening at the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival last year and the Glasgow Short Film Festival earlier this year, Scottish short Borderline has been picked up by the Palm Springs International Shortfest, it was announced this week. The festival is important because films screened there are eligible for Oscar consideration.
Centred on dancer and chreographer Lynn Shaw, the film explores the subject of borderline personality disorder (Bpd) through the medium of dance. Director Lyndsay Goodall says she took this approach for two reasons. "I wanted Lynn to be the focus of film and I felt that it should have her voice. I didn't want to speak to medical professionals or do anything that might undermine her experience. She's very articulate and self aware and I think listening to her is more powerful than having lots of different voices.
