An image that tells an entire story, The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow centres on a single photograph that dates back to the early 1930s. As the camera begins to investigate the particulars of the photo, however, it reveals a tapestry of secrets hidden in the details, and a tale of murder, kidnapping and sacrifice captured in a haunting moment.

An old, faded photograph can provide many surprises upon closer careful examination and as the camera approaches more and more, it reveals details that tell a dark story of crimes, love, and sacrifice. Interestingly, the importance of film detail is paradoxically confirmed by an animated short film. The film is an impressive realization of a single idea, which it richly manages over 6 minutes. Overall impression: 90%.

An almost unbelievable play with detail and what it actually means to look at a photograph and its individual details. At first glance, it might seem like capturing a nice moment, but it's precisely those details that give it a completely different dimension. Here you can see what all you can miss when you look at the picture as a whole, but not as a whole composed of individual parts.

A very original, impressive, and beautifully mysterious six-minute short from Canada, based on one photograph from the late 1930s. The beauty lies in the details, and what they are able decipher from one photo is literally fascinating. 8/10.
