Senses of Cinema and dotmov
Senses of Cinema, one of the world's most popular film websites, is celebrating its 40th issue. To do this, they have enlisted the dotmov media arts collective to pay tribute to ten of the world's most important film directors as voted by readers of the website. The result is Either / Auteur, which despite being one of history's worst puns, will be hosted at the City Library until the 15th of August.
Reinterpreting both key scenes and general idiosyncrasies of the directors, the dotmov artists pick apart the classics and weave together new versions with animation, rotoscoping, and even a bit of old-fashioned weirdness. Psycho's shower scene re-shot in ASCII, anyone?
Artists and Their Muses: Saskia Pandji Sakti - Stanley Kubrick, Lorraine Heller-Nicholas - Orson Welles, Brendan McKnight - Alfred Hitchcock, Dom Redfern - Akira Kurosawa, Ryan Hayward - Martin Scorcese, Benjamin Ducroz - Robert Bresson, Jackie Felstead - Carl Dreyer, Anna Philips - Ingmar Bergman, Claire Best - Andrei Tarkovsky, Eugenia Lim - Jean-Luc Godard
