Synopsis

Re-Vue is a mutilated love-letter to the film’s form in address to the act of seeing itself. It is shaped as a response to, and in dialogue with, Mike Hoolboom’s Color My World (2017). A flicker-fest lamenting a lost relationship with narrative cinema, by which it is forever marked. Yet there are hints for a way back in this age of surveillance.
