Black and White Dross
Entirely made from celluloid scratches and handling marks gleaned from DW Griffiths epic Birth of a Nation. Silent smelting of white debris against the darkness - tense, agitated nothingness. Narrative through the physical history of film reels. "... gets under the fingernails with a reconstruction of the visual crackle of old films and references another mister Griffiths from cinema past."
