Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sherwin created this while studying at the London Film School, part of the 1970s British avant-garde scene that rejected narrative entirely.
The 'loop' isn't just structure — it's made by recording the film's own optical soundtrack back onto itself, creating a feedback system that predates digital glitch art by decades.
