Summary:
Lyrical nitrate is a selection of silent film fragments, constructed from old black & white and color tinted and toned nitrate films. Soundtrack is from old recordings, ranging from Caruso to the sounds of a glass harmonica. The forbidden quest uses found footage to tell an outlandish Shackleton-esque adventure story of an ill-fated South Pole expedition.
