Synopsis

Austria/Hungary in 1905: At the annual fairs, the old cabinets displaying "abnormalities" and "living phenomena" are being replaced by cinematograph booths. Meanwhile, Viktor Conrad, the son of a photographer from Vac, falls in love with the image of a dancer he only knows from a film strip. With the booth he inherited from his father and his cinema equipment, Viktor joins the traveling troupe of the famous Doctor Giovanni in order to be close to his beautiful deaf-mute dancer.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
