The motion picture wonders of Bill Domonkos
In search of the sublime, Mr. Fireman spends most of his time conducting radical experiments of self-obliteration, an ecstatic process in which he puts himself into a hypnotic trance, mentally deleting parts of his body.
Inspired by Vladimir Nabokov's "The Original of Laura", his incomplete final novel.
Evoking a sense of time and nostalgia, the film uses archive film footage which is manipulated, reconstructed and combined with newly created digital animation, special effects and sound, provoking new ideas and experiences.
Directed by Bill Domonkos
