Fan Film

The Fan Film is a backdrop and outro created by Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben for both versions of The Monster Ball (2009–11).

Background

Prior to the tour, fans were invited to submit video clips that would be reviewed by Knight, Hogben, and Gaga for inclusion in the interlude.

“

In a unique step, Lady Gaga, image-maker, Nick Knight, and fashion-filmmaker, Ruth Hogben launched a one-off collaborative project, inviting Gaga's fans to submit their own video imagery for inclusion in the interlude. The inspiration is sharp, simple, and brutal: the apocalypse, symbolic of both destruction and rebirth. Gaga, Knight, and Hogben selected imagery from the submissions, and the videos were then spliced together and reinvented as exclusive imagery, played alongside Gaga's live performances.
