LONG GONE Daguerreotypes 1840-1860 (2011) - I came across the Library of Congress' collection of daguerreotypes and found them so fascinating that I thought that they would be good material for a short film. The second entr'acte from Carmen has been one of my favorite short pieces of music for many years (I'm a sucker for melody), and it is generally contemporary with the images, so it seemed a natural fit. The memento mori of visiting graveyards, reading epitaphs, birth-death dates, and calculating lifespans is sobering and contemplative for most of us. This film might fit into that variety of experience.
If you like this stuff, let me know - especially if you're from the Seychelles. Thanks.
