Debut, or, Objects of the Field of Debris as Currently Catalogued

This film is currently not available.   

Written, directed and edited by Julian Castronovo, Debut, or, Objects of the Field of Debris as Currently Catalogued could easily become a cult item for those fascinated by detective stories, cinematic experimentation and research strategies. It begins when the narrator comes into possession of the belongings of a filmmaker and starts reconstructing his movements: the story of a search. Through clever work with different narrative levels, Castronovo’s debut feature manages to be both an oblique self-portrait (with a good dose of playfulness and delicious wit), and a speculative fiction about Fawn Ma (a Chinese art forger and performance artist).
