“Fourty intriguing films from the world's leading directors”
Documentary
40 international directors were asked to make a short film using the original Cinematographe invented by the Lumière Brothers, working under conditions similar to those of 1895. There were three rules: (1) The film could be no longer than 52 seconds, (2) no synchronized sound was permitted, and (3) no more than three takes.
VIBE
A charming, artistic journey back to the dawn of cinema. This documentary feels like a warm, contemplative conversation among filmmakers, celebrating the magic of the moving image with a nostalgic, experimental touch.
