Description:


Photographing Invisible Things is a whimsical exploration of the way in which we use photography to construct a meaningful past for ourselves.


A lonely collector finds the remnants of a wedding photograph amidst the burnt out rubble of a derelict house. After finding the location where the photograph was taken he proceeds to photograph his own version of events, beginning a journey to create a life of false memories through his photographs. But the space in his photographs is not entirely under his control. Someone gets caught in frame, and at the climax of the film the man must choose whether to reject or incorporate this human element into his fantasy life.


Distribution:


The film was premiered at Birds Eye View at the Curzon Cinema, Soho, London, in November 2002. It was praised by Derek Malcolm (Guardian critic and President of International Film Critics) as being "personal and highly intriguing".
