Contents/Summary

Summary
An experimental short video with images of people from all around the world - men, women and children - holding machine guns. The filmmaker used still photos from mainstream news magazines and morphed them into a moving image with the Kalashnikov gun as its continuous centrepiece. The video makes the press photos with the Kalashnikov turn into each other. The centre of the morph is always the gun. The sound of the video is by Bobby Previte and it evokes the sound of a machine gun and a typewriter.
