A Film by Andrew Keogh & Steve Stapleton | Music by Nurse with Wound

A fascinating, unique experience, Mismantler is a dark, stream of consciousness fever dream that resembles nothing you’ve seen before.

A collaboration between Director Andrew Keogh, Steven Stapleton & Nurse With Wound, the film grew out of animated visuals for a live Nurse With Wound show. The main character ‘The Mismantler’ is taken from a collage by Stapleton. Post-apocalyptic landscapes are pictured in a number of major films that are now part of the collective unconscious. Terminator, The Road are clear influences for Andrew Keogh. His obstinate, close-up dive into the physicality of surviving, however…is its own thing. As if acknowledging that Eraserhead or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre have as much to tell us about it as Threads does.
