Reflections and projections

Man with Mirror (1976)

Directed by Guy Sherwin this is an experimental short film with on screen performance from the film's director. A man stands in front of the camera with a mirror while a film is projected onto him.

Taking a very simple idea this is a fascinating little film built on a great performance. I have no idea how many takes it must have required to get right but the interplay between projection and reflection make for a great watch. There is certainly something unique about this film and a lot of skill in the execution.
