The found-footage film „Jamais-vu“ shows archetypical situations
which, in this new montage, are perceived as different and strange.
This panorama presents a gamut of emotional sensory impressions
focussing on cinema as the means of expressing the condition of a
culture. All about heart, skin and brains, eyes and genitalia,
consciousness and sub-consciousness, in short, all about cinemastory –
cinema stories: or, all about life, from birth to death.
