A brief study of the unusual history of one old film frame.
Director's Note
While watching Stalingrad (1943) by Leonid Varlamov I noticed this shot right away and it stayed in my memory until I got the idea for this video. This is the story of an anknown man caught in the endless circle of cinematic death, artistic ambitions and entertainment, where an image of killing is no longer entertaining enough.
