15:00, 16mm B&W – 2016

A 16mm love letter to the cinema of German Expressionism (circa 1910-1924), created for The Caligari Project, Regina, 2016

Der Glöckner, set in 1914 in a fictional European town on the cusp of war, examines themes central to German Expressionism: isolation, war, fear, the paranormal, the unconscious, angst, man vs the machine, and transcendence.

To create this film, we opted for the highest level of authenticity we could manage in 2016. Sets were hand-painted canvas, depicting the projection onto reality of the 2D inner world of the lonely Bellringer. All effects were done in-camera, including a pinhole iris, superimposition, and live weapons.

The cast and crew were incredible. They brought their love, talent, and patience… and made this film a reality!
