2013
Synopsis
Memories, mirrors, madness and Memento collide in this experimental video essay focusing on the photographs and photographers in thousands of narrative films. A stream-of-consciousness meditation on cinema, photography, identity, memory and dreams narrated by an insomniac who obsesses over images.
Editorial
Surveying thousands of fiction films, Mike Olenick’s experimental video essay sees cinema as a corridor of mirrors, where similar tropes and images bounce off one another in a hallucinatory dance. Mysterious and obsessive, this stream-of-consciousness meditation links the act of seeing to dreaming.
