‘A cinematographic journey through the photographic atmospheres of Bill Brandt’ by renowned experimental filmmaker Steve Dwoskin. Many of the photographer's most famous images are presented, along with Brandt himself, who died in December 1983. Much of the film is a succession of glistening, high contrast monochrome frames, echoing Brandt’s style and blurring the boundary between the photographs and the film’s photography. There are quotations too, about photography, from Man Ray, Susan Sontag, Edward Steichen, plus a child reading fragments from Alice Through the Looking Glass. Shadows from Light, like Lewis Carroll, is mysterious and haunting, innocent yet rewardingly complex.
