SCORPION'S STONE @ The Guesthouse, Cork


Scorpion's Stone will first confront the public on Thursday September 27th at 2pm in The Guesthouse, Cork. 

Scorpion’s Stone - a film that was never there... Four years in the making, this is Maximilian Le Cain’s most ambitious and challenging work to date. A mysterious underworld is evoked through the aura of obscure abandoned tapes and fictionalized video diaries to reveal the traces of a full-blown B-movie serial. Sounds and images that might mean everything or nothing hover between life and death, as do the characters that drift through them. Over its six-hour running time, Scorpion’s Stone makes use of multiple rhythms and visual textures to repeatedly evoke and dissolve narrative traces. The result is a unique meditation on the haunting malleability of forgotten sounds and images.

This Experimental Film Society production’s cast is headed by John McCarthy, Rouzbeh Rashidi and Vicky Langan, and reads like a who’s who of a particular Irish underground film scene. It was made with the support of Farzad Fahim, Lictenberg Studios (Berlin) and Centre Culturel Irlandais (Paris).
