An experimental short video based on two found scrapbooks from 1969 that we had photographed onto microfilm.
Technical obsolescence serves as the backdrop through which we explore the abandoned scrapbooks, the mysterious archivist and the passing of mediums such as newsprint and microfilm. The ephemeral nature of the microfilm images flitting by—some blurred while others are brought into focus—parallels the processes of memory and recollection and allows us to explore a particularly rich moment in history that has attained a mythical status.
