PRESENTS, 1981

Canada | 16mm, Color, 90’ | No Dialogue

In this film, one observes Michael Snow's interest in retrospection, memory, and the memory of place. The lines at the beginning of the film literally transport us to another film within the film. As the character wakes up and transforms into a completely different person in a surreal set environment, an exaggerated satire on the structural understanding of the film begins. It is clear that it is not the camera that moves in the movie, but the whole set. Snow forces the viewer to accept the visual reality of the moment and invites them to think and question what is represented. This fictional structure of the film proclaims the irreversible loss of every moment of life.
