Rope: Unraveled, Rewoven is part of a series of work which explores the formal aspects of film by deconstructing existing movies and reassembling them into new works.

Alfred Hitchcock's Rope is shot as a continuous take -- without any cuts, disolves, or other transitions. It is presented as transpiring in "real time" as one might watch a play transpire.

The film is sliced into five minute segments, each woven in and out of the others so that the entirity of the movie -- title-to-credits -- is viewed in the span of 5 actual minutes.

In addition, the script has been re-edited into a conversation about creation and the artistic process itself.
