A Tepid Metonymy: Cinema, montage and the prediction error Part 2 Project 2025 Hamish Saul University of Tasmania Launceston | Australia A Tepid Metonymy: Montage, Cinema and the Prediction ErrorFilms are made through cutting and editing, meaning rendered through the stitching of frames. The rearranging of frames in a sequence changes the meaning of the film through altered associations.Early Soviet filmmakers, constrained by a lack of camera equipment, made films by cutting and re-arranging existing stock, often hundreds of times. While the content of the frames did not change, their reconfiguration changed the overall meaning. Acts of montage subtly played with timing and viewer expectation to produce a jolt or shock that sharpened attentions and heightened emotional affect. New meaning; without new film.This project is premised on a temporal chimera. The location is the Tepid Baths in nipaluna/ Hobart, lutruwita/Tasmania. The Baths were built in 1938, abandoned and fenced off in 1996, and the site of countless uncoordinated, illegal acts for 18 years thereafter. The proposition intervenes at that historical time before its redevelopment, when the site was heavily graffitied and vandalized. Tutor(s)
