One day, his brain broke– or maybe it wasn’t just in one day?” LOST MIND is a narrative dance film exploration of the psyche by director, writer, and choreographer Sara Silkin. LOST MIND recounts her inability to identify her father's mental illness throughout her life. With her powerful application of surrealist movement imagery, she recreates the emotional physical highs experienced during a manic episode, followed by the endless spirals of depression caused by bipolar disorder.
