Poster for By Halves

By Halves

2012 · 7 min

A quiet, abstract experiment in degraded images that rewards patient attention with a strange, hypnotic texture.

Directed by
Amy Halpern
Overview
By Halves uses appropriated footage from rejected 35mm prints that were cut in half and readjusted to be used as spacers for 16mm to sync sound tracks on film, and not meant to be projected.
How it feels
Slow-burning and demanding.
