About

British filmmaker Charlie Shackleton's The Afterlight is a cinematic singularity. The film exists as a single 35mm print that deteriorates further at each screening until it will one day cease to exist. Composed of fragments drawn from hundreds of films, it is a hypnotic collage of actors now dead, but who live on in a shared celluloid realm. With each screening its own unique moment in the life of the film, The Afterlight is one-of-a-kind cinema event.
