Moving Stories

　　The new short fiction film from Nicolas Provost will be made completely out of stock footage. Stock footage refers to film or video footage that already exists. For example: moving images of cities, landmarks, dangerou...展开s wildlife,… It is – in many cases freely- available at several websites. Filmmakers often use this prefabricated material because it is cheaper than shooting new material. As a result, some stock footage may already have appeared in previous movies or productions.
　　Stock footage is normally used as illustrative material in a very sober way. Provost wants to show that stock footage can also have an esthetic and cinematic value and that it can tell a story. The film starts with an off-screen dialogue between a young couple, ready to embark on a romantic adventure. What happens next? Provost will tell their story by using nothing but stock footage exterior shots of a Boeing plane, flying towards a sunset.
