A Machine for Viewing (2021)

Directed by Charlie Shackleton, Richard Misek, Oscar Raby

“An echo of a VR experience reverberates through an empty cinema.”

· 30m

In 1970, filmmaker Peter Kubelka designed a movie auditorium in which carefully controlled sight lines and black velvet caused all but the screen to disappear into darkness. He referred to his invisible cinema as “a machine for viewing.” In these adventures in vision, directors Oscar Raby, Richard Misek, and Charlie Shackleton use real-time VR experience, live performance, and video essay to transform the Egyptian theater into “machines for viewing” to explore how we watch films.
