Last of Our Kind (13:23) 2012
Winner Best Short Film :
2013 United States Super 8 Film + Digital Video Festival
Weaving together film, music and poetry,
Last of Our Kind transforms the memory of a lost love into a ritualistic incantation of longing. Action is exaggerated and time seems to blur, as the lovers’ tale unfolds poetically into a modern interpretation of the Persephone myth.
Shot entirely on super-8, the movie traces a poem, line by line, throughout the city of Seattle in sequences of time-lapse photography blended with live-action that collapse and rearrange time and events into memories. Shot as a silent film,
Last of Our Kind features an original soundtrack created by
Robin Guthrie (co-founder of the band Cocteau Twins) interwoven with a voiceover recitation of Rick Linville’s
poem.
