The Afterlight (Director in Person!)

(Charlie Shackleton, UK 2021, 82 min., 35mm)

Fragments of hundreds of films from around the world bring together an ensemble cast of actors with one thing in common: each is no longer alive. Together, they contend with a fragile existence lived solely through these traces of their work.

The Afterlight itself exists as a single 35mm film print. Further eroding every time it screens, the film is a living document of its life in circulation. Eventually, it will disappear entirely.

Followed by Q&A with the director and Curator of Film Exhibitions Jared Case.
