Interlude: Modern Hauntings

Alex Fitch talks to a pair of directors who made their first films on very low budgets and deal with subjects of hauntings that are to do as much with memory as anything supernatural. In an interview recorded at this Spring's SCI-FI-LONDON festival, Shawn Holmes talks about his micro-budget feature Memory Lane which sees an Afghanistan veteran cheating death repeatedly to revisit his memories of a dead girlfriend and solve the riddle of her death. Also, Eduardo Sánchez discusses his debut film The Blair Witch Project and his latest movie, Lovely Molly which follows a young woman’s mental breakdown while being tormented by the ghosts of her past.
