A talk by Chris Fite-Wassilak

Was it 58 times that
Stanley reshot Jack Nicholson crossing a street in The Shining in the
hope that, as he told me, ”something interesting would happen”?

Writer and curator Chris
Fite-Wassilak and artist and filmmaker Tom Flanagan began a multipart
documentary film project exploring the myths and methods that hover around the
making of Kubrick's version of The Shining (1980). Carrying out in-depth
interviews with Kubrick’s colleagues and collaborators, as well as with
experimental re-stagings of particular scenes, the project seeks to examine a
methodology entirely separate from Kubrick himself and the usual 'troubled
genius' portraits. Taking his constant re-shooting of scenes as a focus on a
way of working, this talk will provide a glimpse in to their research and
process in asking, how do you know when you’ve found what you’re looking for?
The talk included an
exclusive ten minute preview from the documentary aspect of the project.
