Mr Moth / France / 2002 / 9' / 4:3
Mr Moth illuminates the memories of a young boy who tormented insects in his childhood and was warned by Miss Marple that he would be snatched away by Mr Moth for his misdemeanours. The film derives its inspiration from the aesthetics of old black and white detective and horror films and, in the form of a skilful sound and image collage, illustrates the childlike state of fear.
