In celebration of our 15th anniversary, Zeitgeist is proud to present a pair of landmark film by found-footage maestro Peter Delpeut that showcase the inimitable beauty and fragility of the cinematic medium. Comprised of deteriorating turn-of-the-20th century clips recovered from the attic of an Amsterdam movie house, Lyrical Nitrate is a moving tribute to the birth of film art. The Forbidden Quest reconstructs found footage for a more dramatic purpose, albeit one that is just as inventive: to tell a Shackleton-esque adventure story in the tradition of Joseph Conrad and Jack London.
