A statement from director Yoni Weisberg: "I grew up on a (un)healthy diet of cinema. My mum and I went every week to the local Ritz Video and we would rent 2 films all to be watched that Friday night, and the first time she let me pick I chose Robocop and A Nightmare on Elm Street - from that day on I was absolutely hooked on brash genre filmmaking. Horror and Sci-fi have always been such potent vessels in which we can pour subversive societal commentary, and that is what I tried to create with The Third Hand. Since completing my studies in Film I had always wanted to make another short film, but it felt important to me that I learn more about my craft before finally investing all of the required blood, sweat and tears into another personal project. This film was the culmination of years of discarded ideas and other films on the ash heap. I had always been driven to create a genre based parable which I felt reflected some of what I see as fundamental flaws within society. The drama at the centre of my film comes from a man who has had his own wants and dreams ground down the absolute minimum. He views himself as fundamentally flawed, and therefore undeserving - this to me is a commentary on his position in life, one which I don’t see as unfamiliar to the world at large. The majority of the world’s population is subjugated in one sense or another and one of the themes of this film is about the treachery of that situation. Being told that we are not in control of our own destiny and constantly being pushed by forces beyond our control towards our inevitable self destruction by offering us things we don’t need and insisting that we just need to give up a little bit more of ourselves to get it. The other major thematic exploration is a classic tale of greed. Never being able to see when what we have is already enough. This is explored from the opening shots of the film where we see our isolated character as viewing himself as incomplete and searching for a way to feel whole. What I wanted to do was to take this character and tantalize him with the possibility of fulfilling his dreams, taking him into his own Aladdin’s cave and at first making him feel like he has gained control before swiftly pulling that rug from under him. My production designer, Marc Ingham, and cinematographer, James Watson, worked closely together when designing the set. We wanted to make sure that the discovery of the mysterious room didn’t simply feel like an extension of the normal world but rather a highly conceptualized version of it. This for me was the manifestation of the unseen powers that be which govern our lives. From that moment on this room itself is a character and without our main character even realizing it this room becomes the antagonist ultimately twisting things to its own end. The Third Hand was design to first and foremost entertain, enthrall and shock but I designed to furnish the unusual world with familiar iconography that we would all recognize so that the audience could see a slice of themselves in our protagonist and I hope that the film leaves audiences wanting to see more."

I'm glad that I read this summary of the film. I found the idea of this film to be quite perceptive. For me, the 90's was the last great decade...while some things will never change, there weren't any underlying taunts from social media for us to have to prove ourselves. His expression at @1:19 though😆😁 & that vending machine✋ @5:45 ...nice work!

You should have read those comic books I used to read in the early and mid 1970s. Things with titles like Vault of evil and Mansion of darkness, which were reprints of 1940s and 1950s horror comics. In fact, at first I thought you were going in the direction of one in which it was a witch hunter who caught a witch by purchasing Love Potion from her and also receiving a special bag from her, in which he would say a phrase and a golden Florin would drop out. I was thinking this was going to be a story like that one. So take yourself to the comic book shop that Sheldon and his friends go to and get those horror comics from the 60s and 70s. If the candy bar had been a Fifth Avenue, it would have been worth it.

Seemed more like the writer got stoned, wanted a candy bar and as a stoned mind tends to do, he started thinking about the vending machine eating his hand. A little rework once his mind is clear and there you go. Not saying you're wrong. You cold be spot on, however it seems that everyone wants to give this stuff a deep meaning when it probably has none. Just the fruits of a stoned person craving a candy bar.

@robocatro
@robocatro 4 жыл бұрын
SPOILER ALERT. My personal take on this is that the man lost his finger somehow, at any point in the past, probably at work with machinery (perhaps a copy machine, since it is shown here). We know he has lost a finger at some point due to the emphasis on his hand where it is missing. He eventually becomes obsessed with the idea of getting a 'normal' hand back, so he resorts to desperate measures. The candy bar is opened and consumed, so therefor, damaged. However, once the man places it on the copy machine, it comes out as if it had never been opened, damaged. The candy bars being compulsively copied could represent his inability to adapt to something he already has, so feels he needs to make exact copies of what it was before it was damaged (in this context, his hand). Him copying the hand and cutting it off, could be interpreted as him going and doing surgery, given his desperate nature, most likely illegal or risky surgery. When he dies at the end, it could symbolise that the surgery went wrong or he did not get desired results from it, leading him to be consumed by his desire to have what he once did. His hand. This is just my personal take on it, I could be completely wrong.

I think the nightmare he had with cutting his hand off with the selling machine was a symbolism about how he lost his fingers, rather than it being the copying machine. I think he was some kind of a engeneeir employee and he accidentally lost his fingers to a machine, then later he lost his job for another machine that would do the job he did 10 times better and faster(the copying machine). He then gets enraged but also fascinated with what Technology can do. And then the rest goes as the same as your theory.

A small perhaps, overlooked, detail is that the copy machine doesn't make 'perfect' copies. If you look closely at @3:36 onwards you can see the packets either have copy numbers that differ, or elongated 'E's. When the man first finds the machine it also says 'error'. Perhaps these hint at the tainted nature of anything the machine produces?

I loved this short film, such a surreal experience and the actor really did a great job pulling us into this bizzare world. My interpretation of the film is this: The man goes to get a candy bar, and he shows an angry desperation for it when it doesn't come out. The machine senses this vulnerability, and lets him into this other-dimensional room. The room is kept simple so that even a man like him can understand it: it contains an office copier that can not only duplicate items, but duplicates them in their original, or perhaps "perfect" state. The man figures this out by copying the candy bar, and his greed makes him try to take the machine out of the room for his personal use. However, he is knocked out and the machine shows him that he can have what he always wanted (a new hand) but perhaps at a great cost (the machine falls over and kills him in the dream). With the idea planted in his mind, and ignoring the warning, the man uses everyday office implements to cut his hand and graft a new one to his arm. The use of ordinary office supplies represents that anyone could have done this, there is nothing exclusive about the room or this man's situation. The man then chokes to death on a candy bar, which could be just from the consequences of his greed, but I think this is saying that our desires are meaningless because ultimately we are all going to end up with the same fate (i.e we are all going to die someday). The clock in the room is broken when the man first enters, perhaps signaling that the man is unable to move on and accept the fact that he has an "imperfect" hand (my interpretation was that he was born like this, not that he lost a finger in an accident) hence creating his own insecurities and personal hell. When he dies at the end, it acts as a sort of release for him and the clock is able to move forward again.

Great short film. I saw this at a film festival last year on a big screen and it really worked with the creepy atmosphere and surreal imagery.

00:36 for such a passive looking character, that rage came out of nowhere! Edit: Read synopsis and now see why it lay there, underneath. 4:56 Always been paranoid about putting my hand into machines with lids, hatches or doors. ✋😲😥. 😜😂😂😂 Overall, Kafkaneque with a brilliant performance from Tom and I enjoyed it immensely, as horror built upon horror! Definitely going in my collection.

Well I think the film was about the greedy nature of the human mind and its quest of satisfaction and ungratefulness.We are never satisfied with what we have and keep craving for more.I guess the craving for the chocolate(sugar craving) is a metaphor for human craving(for fulfillment or perfection).The craving leads him to insanity at the end where he is ready to sacrifice his hand for a new one.I loved the foreshadowing where in his hallucination(or dream),he saw his hand getting cut when he tries to get a new one.This shows that even when we know that a thing is going to destroy us,the craving still hampers our decision making and makes us take the wrong decisions.I also liked the way they played with the clock,how it was stuck on 4:21(the angel number that represents satisfaction or success) and the glasses. Such a well thought film. Great work by the director and the crew. Thank you ALTER for these amazing films
