SCENE MISSING exposes the enduring tradition in experimental cinema of repurposing found and original film footage. The medium is masterfully recycled by means of chemical and optical manipulations. Frame by frame, the filmmakers’ devotion to celluloid involves an intensely personal quality and handcrafted integrity. Emotional resonance projects through the envisioning of ephemeral worlds, excavation of collective memory and disruption of narrative artifice. The beauty of what is long gone or recently passed is resurrected through unique film spaces that overwhelm the senses.
