L’attaque de la diligence

Overview

The film revisits the sequence of the stagecoach attack, an archetypal scene from westerns. Using a Super 8 projector and reshooting on a dismantled LCD screen, the film appears in the light of a vivid, floating lantern. The landscapes of the American territory stretch out in time and history repeats itself. Made from an 8 mm reel of an excerpt from John Ford's film "Stagecoach" (1939).
