Shadows and Co: two collage noir shorts by Fabrice Mathieu

December 10, 2015 1:22 PM

Fabrice Mathieu created something new, and an homage to the shadowy, noir films he loves with two shorts: In the Shadow, creating a film from shadows and silhouettes, and Master of Suspense, a story built from Alfred Hitchcock's cameo introduction and cameo appearances.

Thanks for this.
Whilest not sticking with noir here are some of the best film scenes using shadow. The comments for once augment the origional piece.

I read this post title as "college noir" which conjured up images of shadowy 1950s football players skulking in the shadows, hawking sinister textbooks.
