Directed by James N. Kienitz Wilkins | 2023

Told in the form of a staged deposition and composed entirely of 35mm presskit photos from Hollywood blockbusters, the latest from experimental filmmaker James N. Kienitz Wilkins explores the role of cinematic detritus in our lives. Wilkins voices a multitude of characters as they argue about the effects of cinephilia on the self and the culture, crafting a witty off-beat trial of the moving image.

On select dates Still Film will screen alongside the following short films:
