Play History (2012)

Humankind has always dreamt of the night sky. Of the infinite freedom offered by the black void, and of the strong, shining beacon inviting us to ascend. This is a story, a history of the events that led up to our conquest of space, and the consequences throughout wider humanity. The film is a collage. Of genres, documentary and comedy. Of media, drawing from painting and film. Of films, cannibalising all film history. Of truth, both objective and subjective. Watch the small steps and let your mind take a giant leap.

Since its publication 200 years ago, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has influenced vast swathes of popular culture. Adaptations have starred cinema legends from Boris Karloff to Robert De Niro – and even Alvin and the Chipmunks. From tales of science gone mad (Jurassic Park) to stories of understanding the other (ET, The Hulk, Arrival), traces of the story and its themes have spread across our media. With Frankenstein Re-membered, video artist and film historian Chris Gerrard collects these diverse fragments from the birth of cinema until the present day and in the tradition of Victor Frankenstein himself, attempts to stitch them back together into an adaptation of the original Shelley novel.

"How Every Film You Watch Tells You To Love The Rich and What To Do About It" explores the representations of wealth in cinema.

And it shows how these stories distort the view of the real world, and are used against you by politicians.

스페인의 이비자 섬에는 희대의 사기꾼 2명이 있다. 세잔느와 르누아르의 모조화를 단숨에 그릴 수 있는 호리와, 호리의 전기를 쓰는 어빙이 바로 그들. 어빙은 이전에 하워드 휴즈의 가짜 전기를 쓴 게 밝혀지지만, 무엇이 진실인지는 알 수가 없다. 허버트 조지 웰스의 소설 <우주 전쟁>을 실제 상황 보도를 가장한 라디오 드라마로 만들어 미국을 충격의 도가니에 몰아넣었던 오슨 웰스가 다시 시도한 페이크 다큐멘터리 형식의 영화로, 편집을 통해 피카소가 오야 코다르를 훔쳐보는 듯한 장면을 연출해 냈다. 파블로 피카소가 ‘예술은 하나의 거짓말이다’라고 이야기 한 데에, 웰스는 ‘진실을 이해하기 위한 거짓말이다’라고 덧붙였다. 프랑수아 트뤼포는 이 작품의 편집이 특별하며 다큐멘터리와 같은 형식을 통해 시적인 느낌을 전달한다고 했다.

A tribute to a fascinating film shot by Alfred Hitchcock in 1958, starring James Stewart and Kim Novak, and to the city of San Francisco, California, where the magic was created; but also a challenge: how to pay homage to a masterpiece without using its footage; how to do it simply by gathering images from various sources, all of them haunted by the curse of a mysterious green fog that seems to cause irrepressible vertigo…
