Esteemed film critic and academic Catherine Wheatley has mentioned Afterimages among her Films of the Year 2010, alongside work by Gaspar Noé, Lucrecia Martel and Catherine Breillat.

If you want to look at Wheatley’s list, click here.

Wheatley says that she would take films like Afterimages “over the likes of the overblown and overrated I Am Love any day of the week.” We are honoured.

Afterimages has played at the 2011 edition of CPH PIX in Copenhagen.

The Festival Guidebook reviews the film as follows:

Everyone talks about the digital revolution, but only few people do anything about it and make films for fun. English filmmaker William Brown visited CPH PIX last year with his charming Godard hommage ‘En attendant Godard’. This year, he returns with his brand-new film ‘Afterimages’, and again we can expect a simple and likeable film, shot on video with absolutely no money – but with the same energy and desire to make films that drove his French role models in the 1960s. Dennis, an émigré from Guatemala, who makes a living as a baker in the middle of nowhere in Scotland finds a mobile phone on the street. The telephone contains nothing but a video of a girl being raped by three hooligans in a forest. After seeing the clip without knowing what was happens after, he can’t forget it again. ‘Afterimages’ of the video have burnt themselves into his mind and so the good-hearted Dennis sets out to find the girl and the three hooligans. If you have a penchant for the particular British kind of solidarity for the man on the street (and for French digressions), then ‘Afterimages’ is good company.

En Attendant Godard on IMDb

Beg Steal Borrow News, En Attendant Godard, Press and Blog Mentions, Uncategorized

En Attendant Godard has a page on the Internet Movie Database.

The rating of the film currently is at a somewhat low 3.1 out of 10 – with only seven votes so far… Perhaps this reflects  the difficulty of the film, or it might be that I clicked on 0 by mistake one time while looking at it and hoping to give it 10 stars. Maybe this will rise in time. It’s not a new version of The Room that we have made, after all.
