A meta-cinematic work created for a gallery exhibition commemorating early cinema history.
The film is commissioned for the Spellbound exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. It serves as a tribute to the centenary of early cinematography.
Director Damien Hirst develops the project under an anagrammatic working title. The creative process focuses on conceptual alignment with the exhibition theme.
The film screens exclusively at the Hayward Gallery. The premiere aligns with the 100th anniversary of the Lumiere Brothers first London screening.
After its gallery run, the film receives a single network television airing in the UK. Distribution remains highly limited outside the exhibition context.
