The Geneva Mechanism: A Ghost Movie

The Geneva Mechanism: A Ghost Movie

Péter Lichter | Hungary | 2024 | 5' |

| IFFR 2025

The Geneva mechanism is the essence of all cinema: a gear that translates a continuous rotation movement into intermittent rotary motion. Here, historical footage of this gear, along with the act and art of film projection, is digitally dissolved, sometimes into a shapeless mess. A very nostalgia-free film about the end of an era.

– Olaf Möller
