The Unmade Films of J. G. Ballard

On the cinematic qualities of Ballard's work

A still from Chris Petit's The Unmade films of JG Ballard (1990)

UBUWeb are hosting a fragment of Chris Petit's The Unmade films of JG Ballard [1990], a film possibly also known as Moving Pictures: JG Ballard. The website describes the film as an 'essay on Ballard's fiction, and its unrealised cinematic potential, with particular reference to David Cronenberg's (yet to be filmed) Crash, featuring an interview with the director, prior to making of his film.'
