PROGRAM
Outer Space – together with L’Arrivée (1997/1998) and Dreamwork (2001) – is part of Peter Tscherkassky‘s “CinemaScope Trilogy,” which draws on fragments of Hollywood films. It utilizes footage from The Entity (S. J. Furie, 1981), a psychological horror film, in which the female protagonist is pursued by an invisible ghost.
