2021Since 1978 David Wharry has been working on GENERAL PICTURE, an evolving work currently made up of about twenty “episodes”. These films can be shown together, separately or in different orders. GENERAL PICTURE explores the fundamental components of the cinematographic spectacle and in particular its theatrical aspect, the notion of projection, the relationship between the projected image and the spectator. In this crime (wanted by its main accomplice, the spectator) GENERAL PICTURE involves different genres of commercial cinema, and its structure and its narrative interweaving allow and generate this freedom of movement without guilt.

What do you remember about a film when you haven’t seen it for ten years? James McCourt’s memory is prodigious. In an office in the Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, the American writer recounts his favourite film, Douglas Sirk’s 1956 melodrama WRITTEN ON THE WIND, scene by scene, sometimes almost shot by shot.
