- Nothing puts fear into people like a good story and INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS has proven to be one of the best. For over half a century pod people have been plotting against humanity and they never stay hidden for long. Since the original novel was published in 1954, Jack Finney's classic paranoid fable has spawned an endless series of imitations and no less than four official movie adaptations. Every 15 to 20 years audiences around the world were faced with a different invading terror, tailored to address ever-changing social anxieties. Time after time, filmmakers invented new ways for people to fear the unknown, mistrust authority and oppose uniformity. These films together not only demonstrate the dangers that may befall us, but also epitomize the evolution of cinematic storytelling. To study them is to take a crash course in fabricating fear.
- In our lives we collect objects, but can objects collect our lives?
- Retrospective on the career of producer Walter Mirisch.
- Body Snatcher works with new 16mm material as well as with found footage from Barbara Loden's film Wanda (1970), conflating fragments from the film itself and new material into an abstract narrative. Loden's film shows a character that seemingly passively navigates the world and is defined by a deep inner void, but at the same time fights for her own identity and challenges social norms through her refusal to function as expected: "Life is a mistery to her. [...] She doesn't know what she wants but she knows what she doesn't want." Taking fragments of the film as a starting point for a new narrative, objects, props and surfaces from the film were recreated, taking on a sculptural and artificial notion, visually isolated and filmed anew. Wanda's headpiece, the interior and exterior surfaces of a car door or hair curlers are filmed in front of black in orbital and floating camera movement. In this kind of vacuum, an abstract and associative narration about emptiness, failure, and identity construction in relation to the body slowly unfolds. A sort of science fiction remake of Wanda emerges - a layer of meaning that lies behind the film's plot and surface is imagined and constructed, positioning disparate elements in relation to each other and forging connections between them.
