CORMAN’S EYEDROPS GOT ME TOO CRAZY

For 10 years Ivan Cardoso has set aside traditional cinema to work directly on 35mm film in a handmade film, frame by frame. Scratching, drawing, puncturing, interfering, staining, and even erasing the image with acid. Developing various techniques and ways of doing everything that academic manuals say cannot be done. A film without a camera that will reveal to you the cinema of cinema.
