Frankenstein film

content

OHT confronts a classic of Western literature; Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus. Moving around the time of the experiment, OHT makes partial and vertical lunges into the text, without limits of form, language and duration. The novel becomes material to be examined, dissected, re-stitched, a body available for different experiments: a performance, a reading session, an installation, an EP, an aborted radio drama, a filmic adaptation and finally a book are generated as parts of the same experimentation that proceeds horizontally through the Shelley’s story to investigate its multiple ramifications.

Filippo Andreatta with OHT revisits its own stage experiment, beginning with the footage of the performance. A film that moves through cuts and fractures, remaining the performance—and yet, becoming something beyond it.
