HOW WINGS ARE ATTACHED TO THE BACKS OF ANGELS

Now Playing in the YouTube Screening Room:

http://youtube.com/ytscreenroom


Craig Welch takes viewers inside a surreal, meticulously crafted world to meet a mysterious protagonist and his otherworldly visitor.

In this surreal exposition, we meet a man, obsessed with control. His intricate gadgets manipulate yet insulate, as his science dissects and reduces. How exactly are wings attached to the back of angels? In this invented world drained of emotion, where everything goes through the motions, he is brushed by indefinite longings. Whether he can transcend his obsessions and fears is the heart of the matter. A film without words.




Directed by : Craig Welch. Produced in 1996

@briancallanan Um no, I'm British, and (I'm guessing you're American?) since your language came from us, 'color' is actually spelt 'colour'. So no, I don't mean anything else.

love is like a bird , you cant make someone wings to fly and feel free in love, you have to make them room and give them freedom.This man is selfish in love,but he knows that she don't want him, so he made wings for her ,he turned her into bird to feel free - but all she wanted is freedom, and he kept her inside,and when she left him..., well, you saw .., excellent work ...,remember: "it takes two to make love, two o make a life"

@chastonsdad I didn't read your comment, because I don't give a shit. I said it 4 months ago, and I stand by it. The time it took to write that is in vain - I just don't care. I really, really don't.

(In the early 18th century, English spelling was not standardized. Differences became noticeable after the publishing of influential dictionaries. Current British English spellings follow, for the most part, those of Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language (1755), whereas many American English spellings follow Noah Webster's An American Dictionary of the English Language (1828) So depending on were u live in the world English is not the same .

Creatively engineered within the dark and mysterious mind!!!

Would love to hear what the creators of this film have to say about it. After reading the comments here I guess that a lot of people found it beautiful (like myself) and a lot of people on the other hand have found it 'creepy'. I think it's a mixture of both, although I didn't quite get the message that the artists were trying to give. So I'd love to know.
