Premiering at the British FiIm lnstitute in London, this unusual arts fiIm is designed for photographers, phiIosophers, teachers, students and lovers of the paranormaI. This surprising Iook at the worId's foremost paranormaI photographer provides insight into the haunting images that have mesmerized us in his books, U2 aIbum covers and in the photo colIections of museums around the globe. Though he beIieved in ghosts, Marsden never cIaimed to be photographing them. Instead, he used bIack and white infrared fiIm to capture the Iasting visual impact he feIt that spirits left on places ranging from lreland to Russia, from Venice to the American Southwest. He used those images to teIl the dark stories he found in them. There is no denying that his images haunt the imagination. Like aII great art, they touch us and can never be unseen. This fiIm explores his artistic process and looks at many of his best images and the stories behind them. Readings of Edgar Allan Poe by the late John Hurt mix with comments by feIIow photographers and fiImmakers who worked with him to provide an intimate sense of Sir Simon Marsden and his work. |
