As its title indicates, the subject in this film is a series of production stills of a film that was never made, and that at the same time is the film we are watching. The image is one long take (11 minutes) of a wall on which a hand sequentially pins a number of Polaroids, one after the other. The Polaroids depict the crew making the film; the synchronous sound allows us to hear in ‘real time’, their chatter and the hum of the still camera, so that we can anticipate the photos and assign faces to the voices we hear.
“A documentary about nothing but itself; technicians become actors, equipment becomes props; the reality captured by the film exists only for the duration of the film. The soundtrack consists of the mumbling and talking of the crew during production. It is at no point lip-synched.” (Morgan Fisher)
