Going Through The Checklist



Film Synopsis


Two filmmakers reflect on the idea of the experimental film, testing the limits of their mind to find out how they can transcend their current understanding of film. 

This film was made as part of the module LICA359: Experimental Cinema: Theory and Practice  

Directors’ Statement 


Luke: ‘I commend you for taking on the brave task of parodying the subject matter of this course module. I believe, indeed, that the apparent gravity of art occasionally needs to be questioned, and by donning the jester’s hat, you have effectively done that’ – Michaël Boucherie 

James: ‘I found a new appreciation of classical music’
