North by Northwest; A Conversation

For North by Northwest; A Conversation (TRT: 5 minutes 30 seconds), the re-edited footage is from a scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest.  The director’s vision creates and confirms viewing conventions, which almost exclusively reveal the narrative through the lead male character.  Re-forming the original editing of the film as continuous takes of each character allows the spectator to (partially) determine where and how to look, disrupting the standard gaze.
