A small house spins through outer space. Onboard is silent film actor Lillian Gish, drifting alone through cosmic vastness. Here, climate instability and the existential threat of wildfires emerge as a prominent theme. Meticulously crafted from thousands of handmade paper collages, this short film comprises archival images from early silent films and other sources that explore personal relationships, science fiction, the natural world, and cinematic language, along with fragments of 18th and 19th century engravings and illustrations.
From acclaimed Colorado filmmaker Stacey Steers along with John Romano, and sound design by Udit Duseja, "The Stars Watch From Long Ago" is a surreal meditation on wonder, loss, and longing.
