Instant Life

Deutschland 2021 Kurz-Dokumentarfilm

Summary

"The three films you will see are shot-for-shot reproductions of the compilation film 'Instant Life' (1981). Each film in 'Instant Life' (1981) was a remake of an earlier film also called 'Instant Life' (1941). The earlier 'Instant Life' (1941) was a single film, not a compilation.

In 2017, we decided to recreate 'Instant Life' (1981). We did not attempt to recreate 'Instant Life' (1941) because that 'Instant Life' is lost. 'Instant Life' (1941) was a silent film presented with live musical accompaniment. After the show, audience members received a printed riddle. 'Instant Life' (1981) is a sound film. The riddle is part of the film. No answer to the riddle exists."
