Piece by piece, a menacing machine-system is constructed. Combining live action, stop-frame animation and a kinetic sculpture, Harrachov explores the effect of an arcane force that, like a black hole, exerts an irresistible power upon certain objects and materials.

Created through a process of close collaboration between director, performer and crew, this thoroughly eccentric and stylistically original film does not attempt to narrate a dream, though it exploits the same kind of mechanisms that dreams utilise.

A group of 'Look Downs' (fish) swim though chemical layers of high-contrast black-and white film stock.

Film based on dreams of a ten-year-old, shot in and around an excessively sunny Romanesque ruin.
