Cinéma Invisible - The Book
THE NETHERLANDS/2005/Dutch/Color, B&W/Video/73min
Director: Kees Hin
Our navigator is a woman who visits a bookshop in search of a collection of unfilmed screenplays, “Anthologie du Cinema Invisible,” that was published to celebrate the first centenary of cinema. From these 100 unrealized works, the essence of ten projects are selected to be presented in this film. Excerpts from Chaplin and Clouzot, Zazie dans le metro, Battleship Potemkin and more are combined to create this fantasy documentary film with an infectious playful spirit. A work that pays homage to all cinema.
