Synopsis

Cinderella is a musical adaptation of the fairy tale. The story is deconstructed and presented as a mechanical game featuring a series of repetitive sequences, in which Cinderella is continually projected back and forth between the hearth and the castle like a ping-pong ball. She is unable to fulfill the requirements of the "Cinderella Game." The film was shot without sync sound (MOS), with dialogue lip-synched, and the use of an out-front score and effects track enhances the film's sense of alienation. — E.B. 1984. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2017.

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.
