Terra Incognita

Ben Russell | USA | 2002 | 10' |

| IFFR 2003

Terra Incognita is a lenseless film whose cloudy pinhole images create a memory of history. Ancient and Modern explorer texts of Easter Island are garbled together by a compute narrator, resulting in a forever repeatingnarrative of discovery, colonialism, loss and departure.
