“Doors of perception” is an experimental short film, which was shot exclusively in black light. Only UV-active materials glow in this light, everything else remains invisible to the human eye. The film tells a story of an archetypical character “human”, whose convictions are confronted with the new reality.

The question of faith and perception is as old as humanity itself, but it remains relevant. Only the fear of the new is enormous. When the exterior framework collapses, when certain coordi- nates break, the temptation appears to come back to old structures and values.

The goal of the film is to encourage viewers to start questioning. “Nothing is what it seems” is the message which the film wants to convey using the unusual mean of the black light. In every complete belief system, one sees only what one knows. Also, when there is more to it we want to provoke to look behind the horizon and enter the new world. But what does the world of nothingness look like?

Following an introduction which establishes the social context of the film, ‘The Politics of Perception’ presents a one-minute promotional film advertising a popular Hollywood thriller. This section then repeats itself: a print is generated from the one-minute segment, then a print from the print, and so on as the image and sound slowly disintegrate with each new cycle, until the visual and sound information have completely evolved to white light and white noise. The most original film from the Northwest area. ‘The Politics of Perception’ explores conceptually the paradoxes of communication and the very nature of film itself, progressing from movie reality to its utter abstraction. A maddeningly stimulating work!

“In 1944, psychologists Fritz Heider and Marianne Simmel made a very short, animated film of moving shapes. This is purist cinema. Shapes are just moving around, but it is virtually impossible not to project judgements, desires and a storyline onto them. With such raw materials, the perceived narrative is not about the shapes, but a reflection of the viewer’s own psychology and memories. Scientists found that viewers construct their own individual interpretations of events; there is not one common narrative, but innumerable permutations—sometimes with imagined voices or sound effects.” - Brittany Gravely / Harvard Film Archive

Two cameras pan the length of it as the subjects describe the sections they are holding. A moving greenscreen fabric frames them, haphazardly keyed with the film in question.
