4 VERTIGO

Estados Unidos. 2000. Color. 9 min. Experimental. Vídeo.
  • Film Director: Les Leveque.
In este corto, Alfred Hitchcock's 128-minute film 'Vertigo' has been condensed by capturing one frame for every two seconds of the original movie. The condensed film was then duplicated four times shifting the horizontal or vertical orientation of the frame with each duplication. The four films were then reassembled frame by frame, generating a stuttering sequentially kaleidoscopic montage where Oedipal narratives of desire and obsession are shifted and displaced.
