Faceless

Featured in these articles BBC, Guardian.

Manu Luksch's film Faceless goes one step further than the surveillance camera players. employing cameras used for surveillance to produce a 50min narrative film. the video was per cured using the Data Protection Act over the course of 5 years. to comply with this law all individuals featured in the footage, other than the one requesting a copy, must have there faces censored. this forms the basis of the narrative which portrays a distopian future where a women wakes in a world where no one but her self has a face.



unfortunatly as of 2001 it has become increasingly difficult to gain acces to our own footage. the footage must now be of a "biographical" nature though surely this should include everything that happens in a life. it must also not cause extra work for the CCTV operator, this is of course impossible as every face other than your own must be censored. despite this clamp down i have, in the past, tried to acquire my own footage but have simply been ignored.
