The Hidden Gesture. War and Melodrama in Hollywood's 30s and 40s

Director_ Dana NAJLIS

Argentina 2023 6min DCP B&W shorts Experimental

Review

This singular film uses scenes from melodramas and war movies from the 1930s and 1940s. The director rearranges poetic images from the original films along with the bodies of actors that evoke the most beautiful and heartrending stories to create a visual discourse. This short is like a dream of a film about Hollywood. (Sung MOON)
