Synopsis
In the darkroom, 50 unexposed film strips were laid across a surface, upon which a frame of La sortie des ouvriers de l’usine Lumière was projected to create a new kind of film…
Our take
Stripping the Lumières’ famous first film of its figurative elements, Peter Tscherkassky’s experimental short playfully reinterprets the birth of cinema. The painstaking manipulation of film strips and the exposure process reimagine the medium in its purest form: a dance between light and darkness.
