The Poet, the Spider and the Hand
Director
A typical experimental film from the forties, based on a surrealistic fable by the French writer J.Cl. Lambert. In this film, colour is used for a dramatic purpose, as a storytelling element. (filmform)
The White Hands

"The White Hands" - 'I came to film in my capacity of poet, wanting to see whether I could express myself in pictures rather that in words-create a film poem. Not a traditional piece of lyric but something that suggests and hints and transmits its content even though it may not be comprehensible in a logic sense'. This is how Rut Hillarp described her film interpretation of the legend of Tristan and Isolde. She borrowed this classical theme from her collection of poetry The False Farewell. The White Hands is an attempted surrealistic visualization of a poem, using symbolic image sequences

Camera Operator
A man visits a woman, speaks, smokes, eats fruit and walks out again. Clothes appear on hangers before they one by one disappear. There is a sense of disgust surrounding the actions and the actual meeting.
