Antigone

About This Movie

Antigone (2018) is this intriguing exploration of time and space, realized as a two-screen 35 mm film installation. The director, though not widely known, manages to weave together history and light in a way that’s quite engaging. The use of photochemical techniques gives it this tactile quality – you can feel the film's essence, a rarity these days. It’s more than just visuals; it’s layered and thoughtful, creating a meditative atmosphere that lingers. There's a certain pace to it, allowing the viewer to soak in the details, akin to wandering through a gallery of moving images. It’s distinctive in its commitment to analog film, something that resonates deeply with collectors who appreciate tactile experiences in their viewing.

Antigone is a bit of an enigma, as it hasn't seen a wide release and is primarily found in collector circles or specialized exhibitions. The emphasis on photochemical film techniques means that collectors are increasingly drawn to it, especially those who appreciate the craftsmanship of analog formats. While it may not be the easiest film to find, its distinct style and thematic depth make it a noteworthy addition for those interested in the intersection of art and cinema.
