Lyrical Nitrate (1991)

LYRICAL NITRATE  (1991)  ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Peter Delpeut
A found-f00tage compilation made up of clips from nitrate reels that sat for years in the attic of a cinema in Amsterdam. Some tell little stories. Some are just sequences of related shots. Most are from the second decade of the 20th century. The editing is masterful. The state of preservation, under the circumstances, is miraculous.
