Documentary: All that lingers lasts forever
There exists a sisyphean struggle to erase certain truths from our lives in an effort to control the wild nature of existence. Amidst this erasure, what truths endure?
Repurposed Soviet era footage is distorted in reclamation of self and personal history. A blip in Thatcher-era silencing speaks volumes as we revisit those rendered voiceless. Experimenting with the notion of image tracking, we interrogate what meaning is lost or gained in our ability to label and assemble truths from our visual field. And hidden in the dark corners of a Colombian village, ecstatic explorations of female sexuality are captured on film.
A programme of new UK and international documentary short film, curated by the LSFF Programme team.
