Transmogrification (1980)
Overview
A short film about the assumption of roles. A voice-over offers a long list of synonyms for transformation: change, modulation, shift, turn, mutation… Two girls are transformed into 18th century young ladies by putting on dresses. A performer, Alexei Sayle, gets ready for and then goes into his routine. Made, like many of Anne Rees-Mogg’s films, in the Rees-Mogg family home in Somerset, Transmogrification features her nieces and nephews Charlotte, Emma, Thomas and Jacob.
