About the Movie

director: Guillaume Vallée

Montreal, Quebec

December 2016 and June 2020

2min 20sec

shot on: Super 8

edited with: Adobe Premiere

Vallée uses hand processed Super 8 film to depict various anxious states of mind reflecting a feeling of confusion and instability that the current pandemic has brought up.

“I wanted to depict the various anxious states of mind I went through during isolation. Fragmented anxiety and existential thinking. Hand-processed Super8 reversal and black & white film. The title is based on an interesting discussion with my son about the possibility of being haunted (he then asked me if I was, in fact, haunted). I took the time to hand-processed some cartridges of black & white film that I shot back in 2016, when I was taking images in an old church in Laval. I found some interesting stuff and the footage I used for this video was similar to the feeling of confusion and instability that the current pandemic has brought up.” – Guillaume Vallée
