Two works by Dutch filmmaker and film historian Peter Delpeut. LYRICAL NITRATE (1990) fashions an ode to silent cinema made entirely out of volatile nitrate stock images scored to period music for a poignant, nostalgic look into the past. THE FORBIDDEN QUEST (1993) blends found footage of old silent films with archival photographs and newly filmed material to tell the fictional story of the lone survivor of a 1905 Antarctic expedition.
