An intimate film that does nothing less than re-imagine death's
rituals for a new generation of the chronically mortal, Unloosened
and Root
expands artist David Dixon's video, performance, and
sculpture practice into a film independent of the common conventions
of cinema.  A "Viking" funeral, Mardi Gras in pre-Katrina New Orleans,
a colonoscopy searching for cancer, and a lonely campground that leads
to the brink of consciousness: Unloosened and Root interweaves two
stories–one documentary and one fiction–to tell a singular tale of
mourning and loss.
