( ) Directed by Morgan Fisher Produced by Morgan Fisher Written by Morgan Fisher Cinematography Morgan Fisher Release date(s) October 18, 2003 (USA) Running time 21 minutes Country United States ( ) is a 2003 silent film directed by Morgan Fisher. The film is shot entirely in close-ups, considering the "status of the insert shot in an ingenious way", according to film expert Susan Oxtoby.[1]
Fisher said of his movie, "Inserts are above all instrumental. They have a job to do, and they do it; and they do little, if anything, else. Sometimes inserts are remarkably beautiful, but this beauty is usually hard to see because the only thing that registers is the news, the expository information, that the insert conveys... By chance, I learned that the root of 'parenthesis' is a Greek word that means the act of inserting. And so I was given the title of the film."[2] It is filmed in both colour and black and white, on 16mm.
