Spider Close Up, Cemetary Gates Closing... 254 scenes arranged around the cryptic film score by musician John Zorn. The parameters leave ample space for interpretation. Henry Hills fills the space with found footage, as well as his own material. To the tune of Zorn’s whodunit tribute The Bribe, we get a perfectly paced, visual stream of association. And like the crime detectives, the audience embarks on its own search – for stories, clues and motives.
