Fear Itself

Based on clips from 82 different films, Fear Itself is a singular experience and a wide reflection on fear. Illustrating Amy E. Watson’s personal narrative with preexisting scenes, the film intertwines individual experience with the collective process of genre cinema through a brilliant mirroring construction. It questions how this cinema has been supplied as much as it supplied our most secret fears. Furthermore, the use of rare footage makes it a real cinephile delight.
