Collections
Films grouped by what they argue
Not by period, and not by region. A collection here carries a claim about what these films reveal together that none of them says alone.
The Record Changed
Films whose subject was revised by later evidence — where the accepted account was not refuted by a single dramatic discovery, but worn down by ordinary careful work until it no longer fitted. These are the hardest films to make, because the correction is rarely as satisfying as the story it replaces.
What Saving Destroyed
Rescue is not neutral. In both of these films the act of preserving something is also the act that damaged it, or removed the context that would have explained it. The question they share is not who was careless, but what is lost even when everybody is careful.
Where the Evidence Runs Out
Every film in the archive states what it cannot determine. In these, the absence is not a footnote — it is the subject. A document nobody can locate, a species boundary nobody can cross, an expedition that left almost nothing behind.
A film may sit in more than one
Groupings overlap, deliberately. A film that changed the record can also be a film where the evidence runs out, and forcing each into a single shelf would make the shelves lie.
