Remake

Remake is a re-shooting of Atom Age Vampire, which is a dubbed version of Seddok, l erede di Satana, which is a remake of Les yeux sans visage (Georges Franju, 1960). The shots have been (more or less) recreated to preserve the framing, focus and moves of Seddocks camera - minus its cast. This film is an experiment, removing the human presence from the film frame but preserving the effect of human presence. It is a response to Gorky's comment that film is a kingdom of shadows: he was talking about seeing film images of people as ghosts, preserved eternally on a film of emulsion. I thought to remove these ghosts and see what remains.
