The Mark on the Wall

“Perhaps it was the middle of January in the present year that I first looked up and saw the mark on the wall.”  So starts Virginia Woolf’s first ever published short story.  This very short adaptation focuses on the narrator, fixated by the mark on the wall that she has just noticed and imagining many, many reasons for its presence in her room.  As you will see, the film is faithful to the short story and has the same, somewhat surreal, ending.  However, I don't think that this was what Virginia Woolf was really afraid of... (sorry, couldn't resist that).

Written and directed by Anderson Wright, The Mark on the Wall was produced by Vesta Tuckute for Violeta Films.
