The project lets viewers choose between two versions of its lead character, Abigail. Its creator also describes an experimental edit and agent-assisted proposals for assembling the film.
Why this film matters
Changing the protagonist is a sharper formal test than changing a costume or background. The question is whether a different central performance alters identification, comedy and the meaning of the same narrative. The catalogue is useful for exploring that question; its promotional claims of historical priority remain the filmmaker’s claims.
