The Dreams of Secret Cinema

After the projectors have been shut off and the TV screens have dimmed, unwatched films dream.  It’s there in the crackle of cooling reels, in the butterfly trembling of DVD cases, the aching sigh and shift of elderly video cassettes.  Images sputter and reconfigure, they warp and merge into new and secret shapes.  Stories burst and scab over, scripts flutter and flame.  Unwatched films dream new cinemas, stories hidden in shivering loops of celluloid.

It’s an intriguing idea, well executed artistically, but loses me narratively” – Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet International

Movies and comics, two of my favourite things, brought together…” – Joe Gordon, Forbidden Planet International
