Shadow Land, or Light from the Other Side

"Shadow Land, or Light from the Other Side" is a film based on an 1897 autobiography of the same title by Elizabeth d’Espérance, a materializing medium known for producing full body apparitions that radically transgressed her Victorian upbringing through an extraordinarily exhibitionistic sexuality. "Shadow Land" recalls the 19th century tradition of "ghost shows," where actors interacted with projected magic lantern slides & stereoscopic views, which introduced cinematic spectacle to a third dimension that permitted projected images to co-exist with real objects in space.
