About Filmserts

Since the beginning of cinema history, directors and screenwriters have been putting other films into their own films – in many purposeful ways and with powerful results. While a film might appear on a television set in the corner of a room and the film's characters fail to take notice of it, most are being looked at by the director’s camera and, ultimately, by us, the audience. They generally have a great deal to tell us about a scene, the characters in that scene, or the entire film.

"Filmserts: Film Appearing in Film" is devoted to the fun and fascinating phenomenon that been around as far back as Buster Keaton.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Psycho (facsimile)



And what happens to bad children who displease Willy Wonka? They find themselves staring up at a shadow of Norman Bates' mother and the glint of a knife blade, as the shower head goes on in a FILMSERT fascimile of "Psycho," created by director Tim Burton specifically for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
