Photograph of Jesus / Fotografija jezusa
Laurie Hill (Basil Stephens)
2010, UK, 7’
Looking for photographs of Jesus, yetis and Hitler in 1948? Help is at hand with this documentary-fantasy based on true stories of requests for impossible images. Real-life archives become the stage where fact and fiction collide, belief runs amok and unruly images have a life of their own.
Iščete fotografije Jezusa, jetijev in Hitlerja iz leta 1948? Na pomoč priskoči dokumentarna fantazija, ki temelji na resničnih zgodbah o povpraševanju po nemogočih podobah. Resnični arhivi postanejo prizorišče, kjer trčita resničnost in fikcija, človeška prepričanja podivjajo, neukrotljive podobe pa zaživijo lastno življenje.
