Not to See Again - Nicky Hamlyn, 1980

A film of misrecognitions, simulacra etc. The film is anti – montage, a series of discrete shots that nevertheless gel at one or two points to produce simple meanings. The sound serves a similar semantic function and is present on three appropriate shots, of bathing, gasfire, radio. Like Guesswork the film hovers on the line between abstraction and representation, hopefully problematising both.
