The read

It runs a compact 8m.

Synopsis

A narrated found footage collage film bringing together fragments of writing by the French Surrealist poet, essayist and philosopher, Antonin Artaud. Fragments of a Journal in Hell both looks at and exemplifies a self under siege, undergoing extreme psycho-physical states. At the same time, the film celebrates a improbably joyful artistic practice struggling to still create personal metaphors during a wartime of the self and the world.
