Katoptron

2017

A dense, disorienting collage of distorted images and sounds that feels like a fever dream, rewarding patience with strange order.

Directed by
Marc Plas
Overview
KATOPTRON is a kind of visual and auditory pudding containing, among other ingredients, the madness of Abel Gance's Doctor Tube. The distortion of visual perception, which is the theme of Gance's film, proliferates in KATOPTRON. Fiction cinema (Kubrick) as well as experimental cinema (Malcolm Le Grice) and video art (Gary Hill) are absorbed by this vortex. However, the saturation does not prevent a certain paradoxical order from emerging from this chaos.
