An army of phantom filmmakers destroys communication systems in order to restore film’s revolutionary power, following the example of the Kantorian pantheon’s filmography. In retaliation, the state destroys every existing film and converts movie theaters into barracks. This marks the death of film. The Battle of Algiers and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie perform its funeral dirge. In search of the vanished magic screen, Istvan Kantor praises the Sunday screenings of his childhood in the darkness conducive to dreams but also to conspiracy. This tribute to cinema is a necklace of videographic pearls worn on the shivering skin of its victim a few seconds before impact.
