Tradition is the Handing on of Fire, not the Worship of Ashes
Tradition ist die Weitergabe des Feueers und nicht die Anebetung der Asche
Found footage is elegantly treated and made to appear as a raging fire. The title is taken from a Gustave Mahler quote, our attention is drawn to the decaying photographic image and to a filmmaking tradition being pushed to extinction. Fire is used as motif for cinema under attack.
