A combination of documentary, fiction, and "found" footage tells the story of a Library of Congress clerk who, in 1939, saves an ancient film collection from incineration.

Experimental Narrative, 1996   Length: 12 minutes   Director: Bill Morrison   Distribution:   Bill Morrison   54 East 7th Street, #1   New York, NY 10003   bimo@aol.com Premiere: Sunday, June 21, 1998 11pm, on Thirteen/WNET. (Repeat: Tuesday night, June 23, 1998 12:30am.)

In this exquisitely edited film, a search for the picture of a woman obsesses a clerk at the Library of Congress. As if searching for a lost memory, throughout the film the audience is shown early archival film footage -- "found" footage -- which emulates the clerk's own search through the archives for his missing mistress. This obsessional piece is a kind of meditation on the nostalgia we reserve for the old silent moving images of a simpler time. The film connects interior visions with historical visions, and reflects on time and memory.
