Manufractur poster

Released in 1985, Manufractur is a notable film directed by Peter Tscherkassky.

What it’s about. A tangled network woven with tiny particles of movements broken out of found footage and compiled anew: the elements of the "to the left, to the right, back and forth" grammar of narrative space, discharged from all semantic burden. What remains is a self-sufficient swarm of splinters, fleeting vectors of lost direction, furrowed with the traces of the manual process of production.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.8/10, Manufractur has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
