It's Your Film

 "Immensely assured"

The Guardian

"The theatre has turned itself inside out, but it is still theatre. And beautiful theatre too"
Die Zeit

An act of Victorian illusion, a fairground ride, a peep show, a piece of live cinema... it's your film is a three minute long performance staged for an audience of one. It was made in a four day period in June 1998 and is perhaps Stan's Cafe's most popular show. It has now been performed around 4,500 times. It has been performed in France, Estonia, Lithuania, Croatia, Germany, Portugal, Brazil, Macedonia, Italy, Spain and the UK. 

Inspired by the Insomniac Productions' shows "L'Ascensore" (1992) and "Clair De Luz" (1993), it's your film uses the cinematic language of long shots, close ups, exteriors, interiors, cuts and dissolves to hint at a story of lost love and detection. It looks like a film and yet is perfomed live by two actors. More than its ellusive narrative, the piece is about what an audience contributes in the act of viewing. It is about watching and being watched, acts of illusion, imagination and perspective.
