Sophie Winqvist Loggins shot Aniara, Pella Kågerman and Hugo Lilja's adaptation of Harry Martinson's poem about a passenger ship knocked off course on its way to Mars. Max Friberg is creative director at Housefire, the studio behind the surrealist horror game Eclipsium. Johanna Kasurinen co-founded Wrong Organ and leads art and narrative on Mouthwashing, its game about a freighter crew stranded after a crash. This is the second of Killscreen's Cross-Conversations: Horror, free talks presented with MUBI that put people who make horror films and horror games in the same room.\n\nJohanna explains why Mouthwashing opens on the crash, with the player at the controls, and how cutting the story out of order lets a game pull off a smash cut. Sophie describes turning a ferry between Sweden and Finland into a spaceship, and Max walks through the impossible spaces of Eclipsium, including a church whose interior is a slaughterhouse.\n\nThen the dark. Sophie on shooting with the lenses used on The Godfather and hanging black cloth outside the windows to make space on a low budget. Max on a princess who stands in for the sun and a player who only shines by her reflected light. We close on bodies under pressure: how a camera moves with a crew coming apart, and why Curly, the bandaged pilot of Mouthwashing, has to read as a person first.\n\nThe work\nAniara (2018), shot by Sophie Winqvist Loggins\nSophie Winqvist Loggins, director of photography\nEclipsium on Steam\nHousefire\nMouthwashing on Steam\nWrong Organ\nCritical Reflex, publisher of both games\n\nLinks\n\"When You Go Into Space, You Go Into Your Own Dark\"\nSpace and the Body: Aniara, Eclipsium and Mouthwashing\nThe Killscreen Horror Collection\nTeenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma on MUBI, 30 days free\n\nHosted by Jamin Warren.
