The Last Lost Shot

Cecile Fontaine 1999 France Experimental color 7min 16mm
Commissioned for the film event exibition on the subject of the "Apocalysm" in cinema, this found footage film is essentially constructed around the strongly altered images of ball-trap sequences for a demonstration film on firearms, humorously juxtaposed to images of innocence illustrated by children type drawings on seasonal tales and by fragments of two advertisement films : one on a natural reservation in the Seychelles Islands; the other, a "cartoon", for raincoats, related to the biblical flood.
