This work consists of a clip from My Way Home<\/em> (1978, dir. Bill Douglas, starring Stephen Archibald) superimposed on the same clip played backwards, slowed to 2 dissolved frames per second. My Way Home<\/em> is the third of a trilogy of autobiographical films by Douglas. The films represent the childhood and youth of the filmmaker, born into poverty, and introduced to the world\u0003\u00a0of art through his relationship with a more experienced man. When embarking on his first film, the director travelled back to where he grew up, in search of an actor to play himself. At a bus stop he met the young Stephen Archibald, who, in a strange reflection, he introduced to the world of art as the star of My Childhood<\/em>. \u201cOf course, the inevitable had happened and he wanted to act for the rest of his days\u201d wrote Douglas. Unlike the character he played however, Stephen Archibald did not escape his childhood home, and died in 1998 in unknown circumstances, following a life punctuated by illness, drugs and prison. Earlier, he had said: \u201cI always waited on Bill coming back with another film. And then he died and my film career was finished. I\u2019ll never make another one.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
