The Telephone

This three-minute short film showcases a young woman's creative response to her boyfriend's infidelity. The film was crafted as a test for a new super 16mm Kodak film stock, intended for use in Peter Greenaway’s feature The Draughtsman’s Contract. Released by the British Film Institute Production Board, The Telephone is an interesting piece for those who appreciate short films and experimental cinema.

As a part of the British cinema landscape of the early 1980s, The Telephone offers insight into the stylistic choices and technical innovations of the time. Collectors interested in British short films or the works of Chris Petit might find this film noteworthy, especially given its context within the evolution of film techniques during this era.
