Detektive Thumb and the Infinity House / Detektiv Thumb in Hiša neskončnosti
Preston King (Savannah College of Art and Design)
2020, USA, 5'53''
A detective is eaten alive by a house. Detektive Thumb is a combination of film movements the crew loves. The hard-boiled chain-smoking detective is rooted in film noir. The colour palette and shot design is inspired by the French Cinema-Du-Look and Eastern European aesthetics.
Detektiva živega poje hiša. Detektiv Thumb je kombinacija filmskih gibanj, ki so ekipi filma pri srcu. Prekanjeni verižni kadilec, čigar korenine segajo v film noir, barvno paleto in oblikovanje posnetkov pa navdihujeta francoski stil Cinema du Look ter vzhodnoevropska estetika.
