🎬 Movie

A team from the Institute of Reclamation and Restoration is tasked with assembling raw footage shot by ornithologist Tulse Luper into a short film, guided only by his cryptic notes and the rigid principles of structuralist film theory. The footage, captured in the English countryside, depicts almost nothing but vertical features—trees, posts, telegraph poles. The academics descend into absurd, deadpan debates over the correct order of shots, the precise duration of each static take, and the true intent of the filmmaker, transforming a straightforward editorial job into a labyrinth of interpretation and bureaucratic folly.
