Malody is a Canadian experimental short film, directed by Phillip Barker and released in 2012.[1] The film stars Alex Paxton-Beesley as an ailing woman who sets off a chain of events when she sees a reflection of her younger self (Ashleigh Warren) in a mirror at a diner, with all of the action portrayed as taking place inside a wooden wheel slowly rolling through an empty film studio.
The cast also includes Thomas Hauff as the diner chef, and Ryan Granville-Martin as another customer.
The film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual Canada's Top Ten list for 2012.[2] It was later screened at the 2013 Festival du nouveau cinéma, where it won the Creativity Prize.[3]
It was part of a retrospective screening of Barker's short films in 2018, in conjunction with the publication of Mike Hoolboom's book Strange Machines: The Films of Phillip Barker. The other films in the series were I Am Always Connected, A Temporary Arrangement, Soul Cages, Regarding, Dredger and Shadow Nettes. The series was screened in 2018 at FNC[4] and the TIFF Bell Lightbox, and in 2019 at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival.[5]
