Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Kim’s Video, an iconic video store in New York City, mysteriously closed its doors and sent its legendary film archive to a Sicilian village for “safekeeping.” But what starts as an homage to cinema quickly becomes a rescue mission to ensure the eternal preservation of the beloved video collection.
Memories of an iconic video store spark an unusual international investigation in this documentary-essay hybrid. Playfully translating the filmmakers’ emotions to screen and testifying to a bone-deep cinephilia, film clips bring a wild overseas adventure and an eccentric VHS collection to life.
