Rhizomatic Directed Simulation (2014) poster

The movie opens with a quote from Borges: "The best imitation consists of the original's destruction and the creation of a self referential text." While a galaxy of Super 8 luxuries erupt, the film hand processed, the emulsion cracked in order to reveal its silver secrets, a silhouetted camera operator attempts to contain the experience, even as he is subjected to the same chemical disintegrations. -- Mike Hoolboom
