Emile Is Missing → Nov ‘24
A film by Sam Carson and Fèlix Morreo Zisserman
In the style of an investigative documentary, Emile Is Missing follows trans filmmaker Isobel as she pieces together interviews, webcam footage, security tapes and her own growing suspicions to solve the disappearance of her missing girlfriend Emile. Deep in her digital shadows, Isobel discovers EmileCam; a camsite populated by obsessive fans who had been spying on Emile through her webcam. Are they responsible for her disappearance? Or is it the CCTV cameras which would mysteriously film Emile everywhere she went. Or, as Emile’s own mother suggests, did she disappear under her own volition? As a desperate Isobel reviews her documentary footage, we bear witness to a violent digital collage of what it means to be under surveillance. It is there in the fragmented digital memories of her lost love that Isobel discovers that Emile has been here all along, waiting for her on the other side of the screen.
