Synopsis

A formal 1861 portrait of a Chinese Mandarin and his wife serves as the starting point for this allegorical exploration of Western fantasies about the East, especially the association of femininity with the mysterious Orient. *Adynata* presents a series of oppositions—male and female images, past and present sounds—that together form a minimal and fragmentary narrative, an open text reflecting our imaginations, fears, and fantasies.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
