Synopsis

The film, shot in Super 8, features figures moving in the foreground and background of an empty space holding mirrors, which occasionally flash in the lens of the camera. The images portrayed in the film are reminiscent of Jarman's Abstract Landscape paintings of the same period. In his diary, Jarman wrote of this film, "this is only something that could only be done on a Super 8 camera, with its built-in meters and effects." The film's title was reworked in the script for *Dr Dee: The Art of Mirrors and the Summoning of Angels* in 1975.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
