Project Description

Swiss Cheese Holes

Director: ETHAN KNECHT

Covertly filmed in Disney World, Swiss Cheese Holes is a multi-layered documentary that explores the timeless question: How do you make a film about your father’s mental breakdown in Disney World?

Through the interplay between family accounts, criticism of Randy Moore’s Escape From Tomorrow, and melting of James Reason’s Swiss Cheese Model, the filmmaker explores reenactment’s role in resolving previous attempts at amusement.

As Disney World customer service states in the film, “Just because we’re the happiest place on earth, doesn’t mean that everyone is happy.”
