Sinopsis
Composed of two narrative layers. The first layer includes a visit to the cinema (including a projectionist) and a reflection on their perception and experiencing the projection. The second layer is the projected work, ie film in film. This is based on the structure of the myth: at the beginning we see a tree that seems to refer to the tree (life or knowledge) in Eden. This is followed by a correlation of the images of Michelangelo Buonarroti's The Creation of Adam (1512) and other Renaissance works. The following shots from the Nazi concentration camps, ie the presentation of manifestations of human evil, are then an allegory of the fall of a man who was the result of the original sin in paradise.

En el despiadado mundo del comercio del arte de las artes plásticas, Josephina (Zawe Ashton) encuentra por accidente un auténtico tesoro: tras fallecer, un viejo artista clandestino deja tras de sí una maravillosa colección de cuadros con el deseo expreso de que éstos fuesen destruidos tras su muerte. Decidida a sacar buena renta de ellos, Josephina comienza a exponerlos ante los ojos de algunos de los pesos pesados de la industria que la rodean, incluyendo a su jefa Rhodora (Rene Russo), al crítico de arte (y amante ocasional) Morf (Jake Gyllenhaal), y a algunos de los coleccionistas de arte más voraces del mercado, como Bryson (Billy Magnussen) y Gretchen (Toni Collette). Aunque la obra del artista logra la admiración del público, también despierta algo imperceptible y siniestro que amenaza con castigar a aquellos que se han beneficiado de su trabajo.

Shot on 16mm celluloid across parts of New Zealand and Samoa, interdisciplinary artist Sam Hamilton’s ten-part experimental magnum opus makes thought-provoking connections between life on Earth and the cosmos, and, ultimately, art and science. Structured around the ten most significant celestial bodies of the Milky Way, Apple Pie’s inquiry begins with the furthest point in our solar system, Pluto, as a lens back towards our home planet and the ‘mechanisms by which certain aspects of scientific knowledge are digested, appropriated and subsequently manifest within the general human complex’. Christopher Francis Schiel’s dry, functional narration brings a network of ideas about our existence into focus, while Hamilton’s visual tableaux, as an extension of his multifaceted practice, veer imaginatively between psychedelic imagery and performance art.
