    Storyline

    Peacock by Alexander Stewart deconstructs cinema into a few of its core components through its dazzling manipulation of light, shape, and movement. A feast for both eyes and ears, Stewart’s 16mm film seemingly adopts a referential approach, intentional or not, towards the musical genres of classical and jazz as it muses on the concepts of repetition, pattern, and eventual variation.
