By Halves

About This Movie

So, By Halves is this intriguing little piece, right? It's not your typical film; it’s built from those half-cut 35mm prints that were never really meant to see the light of day. The atmosphere is almost haunting, a collage of visuals that weren’t polished for an audience but repurposed, which adds a certain rawness to it. The pacing is disjointed, but that’s part of its charm. The themes of loss and forgotten art resonate in an odd way. You can feel the history of film in every frame, like whispers from the past. It’s definitely not mainstream but it raises questions about value and purpose in the medium.

By Halves has a curious place in film collecting, particularly because of its unconventional use of found footage. Since it's made from discarded prints, the scarcity of physical copies adds to its allure. Collectors often appreciate the avant-garde elements and historical context behind the film's creation, making it a niche yet fascinating addition to any collection focused on experimental cinema.
