SYNOPSIS

OCEANO NOX processes a 1912 newsreel that commemorated the sinking of the Titanic. The original material exemplifies both the formality and the poetic nature of documentary aesthetics in the days of early cinema. Close scrutiny and rewriting of the original punctures its newsworthiness and lays bare its underlying form.
