Eautopsie

An enigmatic glimpse of life through precarious vignettes, propelling a narrative through a nebulous and opaque structure that sutures the filmmaker's home movie footage to archival material—from Hollywood narrative films to political selfie videos. A handmade impression of time suspended between past and present and the ghosts and places occupying it, contemplating the nature and meaning of vision, memory and image making.
