Synopsis

*Emak-Bakia* (Basque for "Leave me alone") is a 1926 film directed by Man Ray. Subtitled as a *cinépoéme*, it incorporates many techniques Man Ray used in his still photography—including Rayographs, double exposure, soft focus, and ambiguous features. The film includes sculptures by Pablo Picasso, as well as some of Man Ray's mathematical objects, presented both still and in motion using stop motion animation.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
