Program presented as part of the program Nelson Henricks
A found footage film, Hush… condenses a classic Hollywood horror of the 1960s into a series of brief and haunting vignettes. A heated argument in crumbling plantation mansion. A murder in the summerhouse. A severed head rolls down the stairs. A severed hand lies on the floor. Who perpetrated these vicious acts? By removing the central elements of the narrative, Henricks shifts our attention to the periphery; to those objects, mechanisms and conventions to which we seldom pay attention.
Hush is composed of found film sequences (Found footage) from the film Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte (with, among others, Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland) directed by Robert Aldrich, in 1964.
