Synopsis

A recurring theme in Tscherkassky’s work involves a play with cinematic presentation and varying degrees of recognisability—focusing on the threshold between the just-about and the no-longer. An example of this is *Erotique*. The film shows swirling images, fragments of a woman’s face, red lips, and eyes in cyclical, fragmented motion. It is often difficult to determine which part of the body is being shown (those who wish may see or imagine sexual organs and sexual acts). The viewer's gaze becomes fixated on partial objects, without the presence of an integral, whole body to consider. The depiction of a complete body has long been one of cinema’s challenges.

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.
