‘Vertical Features Remake is both a celebration and critique of structuralist theory… The subject is landscape, scrupulously filmed and framed in static ‘bits’ based on verticals. The organisation is based on rigid frame number counts – after all, cinema is both “truth at twenty-four frames a second” and a process to create the illusion of movement.’ Peter Greenaway, The Early Films of Peter Greenaway 2
In Vertical Features Remake a group of rival academics attempt the task of remaking an incomplete and missing film by Tulse Luper that studies vertical objects, both natural and man-made. Each employ methodologies for the remake that use a differing structure of counting and musical technique to count the 121 (11x11) vertical objects Luper allegedly planned for the project.
