The Photograph
Director
That Photograph is an 8mm experimental film made from an animated still. From the Czech photographer, Josef Koudelka’s photography book, KAO chose a photo of his family beholding a body and made copies of it in a myriad of ways. The photo and the camera are stationary; however, the relationship formed between them through production is in motion.
