Synopsis

The film's visual structure is primarily composed of variations on the arabesque, including arcs of light, water spouts, spider webs, growing trees, flowers and foliage, a woman's smile, arms stretching, and an arm guiding the rhythm of a rocking chair. It employs natural elements such as light, mirrors, water, and wind, along with photographic techniques like multiple exposures and different lenses, to distort or intensify the design of these elements.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
