Looking back over 130 years of cinema history,
we are compelled to ask:
As we attempt to return to that historical context,
what exactly are we reflecting upon?
When we raise our cameras again in the present day,
what form will the resulting imagery take as it arrives in the future?
Perhaps the answer is hidden within the imprint of the epochs.
