An animated documentation of the production of Film Star, another work by Latham which took its title from its appearance in this film. Film Star is a canvas incorporating books whose pages have been painted in twelve colours. Because the books can be opened at different pages, the work can exist in different states; during production, Latham would stop filming at various points, turn the pages of the books, and start filming again. In the film, the books appear suddenly to open, close and change colour.
