an observance of absence

No ratings yet

A documentary that blends interior and exterior spaces left vacant and dilapidated by the abandonment of Central and Eastern Pennsylvania's anthracite coal region, with similarly neglected interior and exterior sites in postindustrial Central and Eastern Europe. The score, composed by Adam Parks (Lightning White Bison), is comprised of manipulated field recordings from both regions of the world, layered with ambient organ and synth instrumentals. Visual and sound contributions by Dan Stauffer.
