Lost Connections is a new short film that offers a poetic response to the experience of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Made possible through a unique UK-wide collaboration of national and regional publicly-funded film archives, Lost Connections draws on a century of archive footage that and invites reflections on loss, loneliness, isolation, and expressions of desire, optimism, hope, and renewal. The past 18 months have given everyone pause to stop and reflect, to question and re-assess what is most important to us. The film creates multiple associations with histories and memories, our common experiences of loss, loneliness and isolation, and the need for the human touch.
It is not a film about the pandemic, it is a film about recovery, hope and renewal, the human character, sadness and joy, what we really value, and our gradual reconnection with each other, our communities, and the world around us.
