Sister Mary or Mary the Junkie | Slate

Sister Mary or Mary the Junkie

Poster

Sister Mary or Mary the Junkie

Sister Mary or Mary the Junkie is an experimental 'found footage' short film. By re-filming imagery from a 35mm theatrical print of a narrative feature, the frame is adapted and reframed, to present a very different kind of film by focussing solely on one single supporting character. The soundtrack of the original movie has been removed and replaced with an eerie soundscape and dialogue taken from an interview with the actor who appears in this footage. The title 'Sister Mary or Mary the Junkie' is based on a quotation spoken by the character in the original feature film.

Princess Nicotine

Rated 5.8 on TMDB

Film, 1909

A smoker falls asleep, and two mischievious fairies play with his pipe. He discovers this, and imprisons them in a cigar box. He removes a flower from the box, which contains a fairy smoking a cigarette. Next, he leaves briefly while his smoking paraphenalia clears itself from the table and the flower reassembles itself into a cigar. He lights the cigar, then breaks a bottle containing the fairy, who interacts with him in various ways reeling from his cigar smoke, building a bonfire that he extinguishes, etc.

Short film to a song of love lost and rediscovered, a woman sees and undergoes surreal transformations.
