From
the
Corner
of
my
Eye
Paul Harrison
Writer / Director / Producer
Paul Harrison, Shot Positiv founder, conceived of the idea for From The Corner Of My Eye due to his fascination with cults and secret societies. I suffered an eye problem as a kid and spent a lot of time at Moorfields Eye Hospital. I remember thinking how strict and formalised the doctors and their procedures were. In my mind I imagined these very formulaic, tedious people being secretly involved in a bizarre cult and breaking out into abstract dance moves. I think it's fascinating when these two opposing dimensions fuse together. That's where Corner came from..."
In the cold North, medical student Sabine embarks on an obsessive affair with her charismatic mentor Dr. Felix Rey. Impressed by both her talents for ophthalmology and her intense personality, Felix secures a job for Sabine at a prestigious eye clinic.
When she meets Felix's rival Heinrich, a handsome German doctor, Sabine becomes entangled in a bitter love triangle. Unable to resist the lustful magnetism of Heinrich she falls deeper and deeper under the hypnotic spell of the alluring older man.
Sabine soon discovers the respectful world of eye surgery is a cover for an ancient sea cult. Ignoring Felix's warnings to stay away she strays further into the depths of the sinister cult, encountering a sublime underworld of bizarre rituals and twisted ceremonies, until she comes face to face with pure evil itself.
Tempted by the promise of unlimited power but terrified of the sacrifice she must make to gain it, Sabine is soon forced to make the ultimate choice between her demented desires and her sanity.
