Roswell

The 1994 film "Roswell" takes a fanciful look at the supposed crash of a flying saucer near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, speculating that it was piloted by a 'star boy' who got lost and lost control. The film explores this event playfully, as if through a child's eyes, using a fish-eye lens to create an enclosed, navigable sky. A strong image shows Bill Brown standing with a sheaf of papers in hand, as an animated drawing of a spaceship scoots across the paper, suggesting a connection between UFO fantasies and cinema.
