Losing is Ours

2023
Forthcoming is a film project, made in collaboration with the band, ALGIERS. Losing is Ours is a meandering meditative work, thinking about modern existence, as we relate or do not relate to the material compositions of our world. Taking the point of view of a low-frequency radio wave, we travel through materials, timezones and atmospheres as a quiet observer, folding time, considering humanity across history, both recorded and forgotten.
This film project will take a couple of manifestations: a work to be watched and screened, but also experienced as an installation and live performance piece.

Production is due to complete in 2023.

A film by Michael Salu and Lee Tesche (Algiers)
Written by Michael Salu
Directed by Michael Salu
Cinematography by Lee Tesche, Sam Campbell, Ian C & Sinan Germi
Produced by Lee Tesche & Michael Salu
