Sinopsis:
Sanctus is visually exquisite, and replete with symbolic meaning. Addressing the co-fragility of both human existence and the film emulsion, Hammer has transformed 'found footage' -- into a lyrical journey, turning this raw material into a celebration of the body as temple.

"In her most recent films, ENDANGERED and SANCTUS, Barbara has addressed the co-fragility of both human existence and the film emulsion, the artist's raw material onto which she creates images. I have just recently screened the completed print of SANCTUS, and I was overwhelmed by it. The film is visually exquisite, and replete with symbolic meaning. She has transformed 'found footage' - scientific x-ray films from the 1950s - into a lyrical journey, transforming this raw material into a celebration of the body as temple." - Jon Gartenberg, Asst. Curator of Film, Museum of Modern Art, NY


Sanctus is a film of the rephotographed moving x-rays originally shot by Dr. James Sibley Watson (Fall of the House of Usher, 1929) and his colleagues. Making the invisible visible, the film reveals the skeletal structure of the human body as it protects it. Sanctus portrays a body in need of protection on a polluted planet where immune system disorders proliferate.

"In Sanctus, Barbara Hammer addresses in a visually and aurally stunning fashion the co-fragility of both human existence and the film emulsion, the raw material onto which she creates images. She has transformed "found footage,"—scientific x-ray films from the 1950s—into a lyrical journey, into a celebration of the body as a physical and spiritual temple. For 19 mesmerizing minutes, between the SMPTE test film which contains the static image of a woman’s face used for focus purposes at the head of the film, to the crumbling sprockets at the tail of the film, discarded x-ray images of human forms are vividly given a new life."--Jon Gartenberg, Film Dept., Museum of Modern Art, NY
