Surfacing Images

SYNOPSIS

SINOPSE

Surfacing Images is a short experimental documentary about film preservation and the destiny of images that are left on their own. From the works of Dušan Makavejev and Bojana Marijan to found-footage videos from the streets of Iran, this film portrays the irresistible urge of images to resurface and be seen.
