Hand Eye Coordination

Naomi Uman | Mexico, USA | 2002 | 10' |

| IFFR 2002

In attempting to explore how the hand can affect what the eye perceives, this film uses manually manipulated images thrown upon a cinematic screen. In doing so, it becomes a self-reflexive work, constantly reminding the viewer of the process and the person behind the making of the film.
