THE ARC OF OBLIVION

In a universe that erases its tracks, we humans are hell-bent on leaving a trace. Set against the backdrop of the filmmaker’s quest to build an arc in a field in Maine, the film heads far and wide to salt mines in the Alps, waters of the Arctic and ancient libraries in the Sahara to illuminate the strange world of archives, record-keeping and memory. THE ARC OF OBLIVION explores this quirk of humankind and profoundly reminds us all of the fragility and beauty of the present moment and why we”re constantly striving to capture it.
