The Case of the Vanishing Gods (2021)
Overview
A cultural history of ventriloquism disguised as a sci-fi TV series, integrating live actors with vintage and artist-made puppets. The Case of the Vanishing Gods is a fiction-doc hybrid that traces the phenomenon of ‘throwing voices’ from the oracles of ancient Greece to the spectacle of the modern horror film, and pushes the essay film into exciting new territory.
