Frankenstein
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Frankenstein, dir. James Whale, USA 1931, 70 min., English, PG


Dr. Frankenstein, a reclusive scientist increasingly obsessed with his unusual experiments, dares to tamper with life and death by creating a human monster out of lifeless body parts. When a criminal’s brain is inadvertently transplanted inside the creature with potentially dangerous effects, its creators decide that it must be destroyed. 

“During the process of building those robotic sculptures, I had some Frankenstein moments. When the bodies I made started to move after many hours of working for the assembling, cabling, coding, and finally when the batteries were connected for the first time, it felt like the scene of Frankenstein - "It's moving!" "It's alive!".” 
- Geumhyung Jeong
