In Time Machine , the screenplay for a ninety-minute film is running across the screen in tight lines. It is based on eleven failed, unrealized film scripts of the 1895 eponymous novel by H. G. Wells. Making those scripts visible, the print presents a still image of unvisualized material that engages the viewer’s own imagination.
