Adam Knott creates photofilms (films that consist of photographs placed in a cinematic context) that are inspired by the early photofilms by Alain Resnais, Van Gogh (1948), and Guernica (1950), and Chris Marker’s LA JETEE (1962).

The goal of Adam’s work is to show the strength of the human spirit and create provocative images that grab the viewer’s attention, then place these images into a cinematic sequence combined with provocative text and immersive sound design to create a filmic experience.
