Shot by the Sea
Unrated / 30 mins / Iain Sinclair & Chris Petit / 2008 / UK
Iain Sinclair introduces his film installation set at the Marine Court building, a pre-war construction on the Hastings seafront. When does a building decide that its only future is as a set? Lost souls ponder the philosophical conundrum: are they viewing Rear Window or are they themselves unrehearsed actors performing for other witnesses lurking in the darkness? Petit invokes Fritz Lang, the paranoid master of surveillance systems, disguise, double identities. Monroe in Niagara and Dorothy Malone floating from the sky in Tarnished Angels. Plane crashes and waterfalls. Marine Court Rendezvous: where the silenced dead catch up with their fugitive souls. Whatever you call it, so it will become.
