Summaries

Shining is a film about cinema. Shining UFO is a film about a film about cinema. We discover manufacturing secrets and the daughter behind the father: the formidable Vivian Kubrick, who opens Pandora's box for us.

This film is, above all, a backup of a poor quality digital document on 888 meters of 16mm Kodak film. Why is that? Because love. Cinephilia is a love of cinema that emerged in France in the 1920s. It is a drug, a sweet madness, an endless investigation by lone wolves. By letting a Japanese television camera behind the scenes of The Shining, Stanley Kubrick adds (yet again!) new levels of reading to his work. It thus reaches a euphoric paroxysm of reflexively. But, shh. It is only after the screening that we can unfold our interpretations together. Shining UFO also reveals the daughter behind the father, the sensational Vivian Kubrick, and a promising artistic lineage whose last scene has yet to be shot. We are in 1980, a car drives out of London.—Jacob van der Masen
