2026-05-30 · Runtime unavailable · Not rated
A fragmented descent into cinematic obsession, Film History’s Modus Operandi blurs the line between archival media, personal documentation, and psychological collapse. Through four interconnected recovered stories — Magic Illusions, Found Objects, Monstrous Miscreation, and Or... Or... Or...Or... — the film explores the dark rituals, obsessions, and fractured realities hidden within film culture itself.
