Manuelle Labor (S)
2007 · Documentary · 10 min. · United States
A woman with an oddly hairy belly gives birth to a pair of hands in Marie Losier’s giddily inventive “portrait” of filmmaker Guy Maddin, done as a collaboration between the two iconoclasts. A longtime fan of Maddin, Losier (best known for other inventive portraits of underground film icons like Tony Conrad and George Kuchar) hoped to document him as well; “I hate my voice and face,” Maddin replied, and sent her Super-8 footage of his hands instead. Losier interwove the footage into her own distinct tale, shot like a surrealist 1920s silent film.
