About This Movie

So, 'Seven Minutes in May' is kind of an offbeat gem from 1995 that captures a unique vibe, you know? It’s a personal project, shot mostly in the Pike Street Cinema. The film revolves around Kitty and her mesmerizing fire-eating routine, interspersed with other images and visuals that the creator had on hand. There's this raw, unpolished quality to it that's really intriguing, almost like a visual diary. The pacing feels reflective, giving you space to take in the visuals while the atmosphere draws you in. It’s definitely a piece that stands out for its earnestness and the practical effects of the fire-eating, which adds an element of danger and excitement to the otherwise simple composition. Just something different to add to your collection.

This film is relatively obscure, with not much known about its distribution history, making it a rarity among collectors. The creator's personal connection to the material adds a layer of authenticity that resonates with those who appreciate indie cinema. Its limited release means that finding a copy can be a bit of a hunt, but for those interested in experimental or personal filmmaking, it offers something distinct and worthwhile.
