Soundtrack by The Residents too (who scored A Journey into the Mind of
P). I would totally watch this. The trailer doesn't entirely sell me
but the artist has worked with David Lynch and had a voodoo priestess
curse some of the 16mm film rolls before shooting on them.
"I wanted to produce an object that had lost its centre – an object
that would be constantly peripheral, where the film itself wouldn't be
the key element but part of a bigger whole ...It had to be a story
that could turn around you just like you turn around a sculpture."
