Film by Beckett

Buster Keaton on the set of Samuel Beckett’s ‘Film’ (1964).

‘Film’ (1965) directed by Alan Schneider represents Samuel Beckett‘s first and only venture into the medium of cinema. The twenty-minute film has no dialogue and, in fact, has only one sound – a soft “ssh!” – and features silent screen star, Buster Keaton as the sole cast member, in one of his final performances. Buster Keaton attempts to evade observation by an all-seeing eye. But, as the film is based around Bishop Berkeley’s principle esse est percipi (to be is to be perceived), Keaton’s very existence conspires against his efforts.
