Half-tone dot "screens" intended for use as shadings and tones in Manga comic illustrations have here been "photogrammed" directly onto raw 16mm film stock. A flicker collage of these dots has then been created using a 16mm film printer. The sounds heard are those that the dots themselves produce as they pass the optical sound head of the 16mm projector. This is a camera-less and sound-recorder-less film.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a direct bridge between the visual and the auditory, where halftone dots from manga printing become both image and the source of their own raw, optical sound. It explores the physicality of the filmstrip itself as a medium.

What lingers after viewing is the primal sensation of cinema stripped to its mechanical essence—a flickering, rhythmic pulse of light and noise. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Richard Tuohy

In complete darkness, projected on film to experience its hypnotic, material essence.
