The Ingress Tapes

Had the pleasure of seeing this experimental short from Fausti Films and was shot on glorious Super8. It is a minimalist piece which doesn't actually depict any persons on-screen but the passing landscapes from trains and an old reel-to-reel tape deck playing the confessions of a brutal serial-killer or assassin of organised crime. The film as it progresses becomes really unsettling and bleak, and the murderous descriptions really begin to get under your skin. It brings to mind the grimness of British TV of the 70's and 80s as well as Alan Clarke's bleakest moments such as the experimental ''Elephant''. The graininess of the super8 and minimalist approach really seals it's identity as a down and dirty underground gem of the indie scene. Economic film-making at a most disturbing effect without having to be graphic in depiction. Really look forward to seeing more upcoming grimness from the Fausti factory.
