New York, 1927. An aspiring model goes to have her picture taken, but a camera can have a mind of its own. "Into The Silver Ether" seeks to evoke the mystical and menacing qualities inherent in the medium of celluloid. The film investigates the myth of photography at the beginning of the 20th century with a heavy focus on materiality, courtesy of its 16mm reversal stock and hand processing. It wants to be discovered as a forgotten film, lost to time in a suitcase that may have belonged to Jean Epstein, Germaine Dulac, or Carl Theodor Dreyer.
