Summary

A slow four-part film on death and the persistence of the dead. Part 1 explores Jeremy Bentham’s Auto-icon. Part 2 is the image of my father in his coffin before his interment. Part 3 investigates the stillness and subtle motion around a roadside cross in Death Valley. Part 4 brings us to the Gulf of Labrador where ignorant armies might clash by night within sight of the dolphin-torn and gong-tormented sea. A lunar coda with a Hegelian reflection on death and imagination.
