The Films That Only You Can Make

The Films That Only You Can Make is a self-paced course in personal experimental filmmaking, derived from the live six-week course Theories of Personal Experimental Filmmaking and conducted by Rouzbeh Rashidi for the Experimental Film Society. It opens from a renunciation — of cinema-as-industry, with its competences, its careers, and its consoling certainties — and from the recognition of the moving image as a spectral, oneiric, hauntological event: a phenomenology of light through which memory, mysticism, esotericism, and cosmology pass into one another without resolution.
