Go raise some heck you #365woman, you. "For this episode of their series Film Ist, Gustav Deutsch and Hanna Schimek spent four years mining over 2,500 shorts, features, and reels of archival footage from the 1890s to the 1940s to compile an experimental montage based on Jean-Luc Godard’s notorious claim about what it takes to make a movie. This strange and fascinating assemblage also offers insight into artistic and scientific film portrayals of sex and death during the beginning decades of cinema history."
