Working with old super-8 footage from 1978, and a recorded telephone conversation with a stranger conducted in Dutch, this video explores the anthropological gaze from an unusual perspective. A fossil, something experienced in the past, is deposited within the film. Suggestive and full of possible interpretations, Film as Fossil questions the narrative prerogative and invites the viewer to read new meaning into the filmic material.

Film as Fossil was rewarded the First Prize in the Arthropology category of the "Made in Video"Festival, organized by "Chamber of Public Secrets" in Copenhagen in september 2006.
