Excerpt screened at London Short Film Festival 2014, ICA
Born out of a desire to make a feature film by age 30, and a series of screenings held with friends taking a deep dive into the career of Lindsay Lohan, LXHXN is a found footage biopic, constructed from over 50 hours of material ripped from YouTube, telling the story of a former Disney princess who dared to grow up.
"Never has the phrase "caught on camera" been so literal... A film by Garry Sykes called LXHXN, and brilliantly subtitled "A War Movie", is made entirely of footage of Lindsay Lohan found on YouTube. There are home movies, movies, live appearances, talk show interviews, infrared surveillance, news stories and court tapes. And there's only one conclusion to be drawn from watching it: however much she colluded, Lohan's live has been a persecution"
