exploration into the greatening reverberations

War of the Ghosts is a 2014 experimental short film by Writer and Director Maxwell Gutteridge. Comprised of three seemingly unconnected characters, War of the Ghosts is a semiotic exploration into the greatening reverberations caused by loss as we grow older and the memories that follow in its wake. The film’s title, themes and sound design were inspired by ‘The War of the Ghosts’ memory experiments of Cambridge psychologist - Fredric Bartlett.
