I am posting this publicly to engender discussion. A 1982 film by Canadian Peter Mettler called "Scissere" was made after Mettler spent a year visiting a heroine rehabilitation center in Switzerland where he hoped to make a movie. He met a patient (named Scissere). The film is not about him, but dedicated to him. The film tries to *express* a vision of insanity, without being a point-of-view film. For this reason it is classified as an experimental narrative. It was once projected in an insane asylum to a small number of viewers who laughed at odd moments or who faced the projector instead of the screen. You can see this film by contacting Grimthorpe film, 91 Brunswick Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5S 2LB. Tel 416 923 4206.
