FAKE

[2006]

​

“this is what I mean when I say I would like to swim against the stream of time. I would like to erase the consequences of certain events and restore initial conditions. but every moment of my life brings with it an accumulation of new facts, and each of these new facts brings with it its consequences. so the more I seek to return to the zero moment from which I set out, the further I move away from it... therefore I must calculate carefully every move so as to achieve the maximum of erasure with the minimum of complication"
-Italo Calvino, 1979

Once a film has left the hands of the director and the image is placed in front of the eyes of the audience, it is not longer theirs. The ownership has been completely transferred and whatever intentions the director may have at the time of the creation of their art is a moot point. The interpretation, the meaning and the context is the audience's alone. We invite you to enjoy this film and take what you want from it. It is yours.
