Invisible Film

About This Movie

Invisible Film is a fascinating reworking of Peter Watkins’s Punishment Park, and it’s not what you’d expect. The director, Melik Ohanian, strips away the original film's moving images, presenting instead a stark, unchanging shot of a 35mm projector in the harsh San Bernardino desert. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating—this stillness contrasts sharply with the urgency of the original material. The pacing is deliberate, forcing you to grapple with the themes of censorship and the weight of war. It’s both a tribute and a critique, inviting viewers to reflect on the power of imagery and the impact of what remains unseen. It’s this unique approach that sets it apart, making it a true conversation starter for collectors.
