Bell Witch of Leith
2009 · 4 min · History, Horror
An experiment in style over substance. It attempts to present the actual medium of film as the focus as opposed to the bland subject matter. The film looks to gain the viewers interest by drawing attention to the fact they are watching a film. It is a comment on the quick cutting and style prevalent in popular film.
