Imagine that you are in a forest which is dark, quiet and empty. You
do not know why you are here. Suddenly you hear a howl. You feel you
do not want to be here. You are afraid. You see a wolf, and a second
one, and a third. They come closer and closer to you and surround you.
What are you going to do?

Recover

INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE

Dirk de Bruyn
Australia

“Recover” is one one side a fundamental testimony of experimental film
making, which traditionally follows non-narrative purposes, on the
other side an attempt to present a history of cinema, from the first
days up to now, to its predicted end and resurrection in another –
digital - form. De Bruyn collected and accumulated footages of
disposed or soon been extincted fragments of celluloid films. He
revived them without further transformations. The sound is preserved
in its actual state, and seems in this way even more sophisticated
than in its original forms.
