Last of Our Kind (2013)

Weaving together film music and poetry Last of Our Kind transforms the memory of a lost love into a ritualistic incantation of longing Action is exaggerated and time seems to blur as the lovers tale unfolds poetically into a modern interpretation of the Persephone myth Shot entirely on Super8 the movie traces the poem line by line throughout the city of Seattle in sequences of timelapse photography blended with liveaction that collapse and rearrange time and events into memories Shot as a silent film Last of Our Kind features an original soundtrack created by Robin Guthrie interwoven with a voiceover recitation of Rick Linvilles poem
