8 mm film transferred to dvd

Initially intended as a colour film where the camera, in close-up, shoots the electric plug of the projector lighting the very scene and after 3 minutes the director’s hand jerks the plug out and plunges the rest of the film into darkness, the project was finally made in 1974 but in black & white video. According to Lizène : “has hopes of being boring, not bad at all!”. (source: Argos)
