Charles Lim Yi Yong – One Day I Forgot and Used my Hands

Children use their hands to make a telescope, so why can’t a filmmaker use his hands to make a lens? It works! Even looks like a classic.

The filmmaker accidentally reinvented filmmaking by using a camera without a lens and shooting with his hands blocking everything but a small gap. Camera obscura. Where photography started. Pure experiment which looks like a classic experimental film.

The final version is screening in a film festival rotterdam .
