Synopsis :
The Annunciation is a 3-image split screen film in which one of the central motifs of Christian iconography is constructed and re-enacted through moving image. It is based on the narrative in the Gospel of Luke (1:26-38) and on paintings of the Annunciation in which artists have, in various periods, depicted their visions of the gospel's events.
Spectacle (3 films)
These three medium-length films, while very different, all take a radical approach to the question of representation: a university lecture based on Avatar, a strange game of cat and mouse between the image and a Malcolm Lowry story and a rehearsal for a Christmas play on the theme of the Annunciation to the virgin Mary... Fascinating.
