Vertical Features Remake is a film by Peter Greenaway. It portrays the work of a fictional Institute of Reclamation and Restoration as they attempt to assemble raw footage taken by ornithologist Tulse Luper into a short film, in accordance with his notes and structuralist film theory.

VIBE

This film feels like a cool, detached academic exercise. It's a cerebral, structuralist exploration of filmmaking itself, focusing on process and theory. Best suited for patient viewers interested in the mechanics of art.
