After Writing

Mary Helena Clark | USA | 2008 | 3' |

| IFFR 2008

Runic script from molding film strips found in the ruins of an abandoned schoolhouse. Seen through the mist of a pinhole eye. The slate is smudged and trembling and twombly. The past encrypted. The moment inscribed. The heart engraved. A letter stamped and sent, received yet forever returning. (MM)
