Hinterlands is a 2016 experimental short horror film, produced, directed, shot, and edited by British filmmaker, Scott Barley.
The film was shot on an iPhone 6 and includes drawings and paintings by the artist. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The film has been described as "a space between cinema and the uncanny." [6]
Form and Style
The film uses abstraction and surrealism, and follows a structuralist form that can be separated into three segments. [3] [7]
The first section features a repeating montage series, consisting of slow tracking shots, gazing up from beneath trees silhouetted against a green and red-hued sunset. The tracking shots are accompanied by low-frequency sound and intercut with periods of black. The montage sequence repeats three times. With each repetition, the sequence’s final shot is extended, revealing more of the space. The disembodied camera continues to travel further towards an obscured vanishing point, passing deeper beneath the silhouetted trees and sunset.
At the end of the third repetition, a second section begins which breaks the repetition, employing camera shake, defocus aberration, an acceleration of camera movement, and an abrasive, percussive sound mix.
The film ends with a series of abstract, red-hued images. There is an implication that these scenes are occurring in a higher dimension of reality. [8] [9] [10] [11]
“The unpredictable temporalities (featuring jumps, slips and pauses) and impossible visuals created from the layering of images recall worlds that feel alien rather than terrestrial. The act of perceiving becomes an unfamiliar one, and we lose the footholds of that which grounds us in our world - our senses. Though we can occasionally see an image of something we recognise in Hinterlands, the treachery of Barley’s images creates a processual doubt in our thinking and before we know it, what we thought we had recognised is replaced by something altogether different.” [12] — The Affective Database: Symulation and Enacting Worldhood in the Film-worlds of Scott Barley, Jack Buchanan, Networking Knowledge.
Matt Turner, writing for Sight & Sound described the film as “a single pressurised short that explodes with an intensity that foreshadows the feature ( Sleep Has Her House) that would follow [...] Before long, the sequence begins to fracture, a shuddering baseline accompanying the juddering frame, before erupting entirely into frenzy. The image strobes whilst the camera spirals, red lines blurring into haptic disarray.” [10]
Release
