The Archivists

I liked this short film very much. Set in a dystopian future, 3 people find a piece of music on a hard record and try to play it themselves. I liked the setting, I liked the scenery and the music really got to me.

I just saw this at the Norwalk Film Festival and I was blown away at the beauty and soft ferocity of it.

It takes place in this beautiful overgrown cabin with light bleeding through everywhere. It's about light and sound and this almost animal purging of music from their bodies with machines in this organic living space, bathed in light. It was my favorite piece from the festival so far. A true gem.

I have never written a review before, but this is beautifully shot and the music is gorgeous. Such talent with these three. It made me feel so good. Like there is always hope. And Noah Reid's voice is amazing. Kudos.
